On the surface, you love to see T.J. Duckett on the team; he compliments Portis for a great change of pace, can stand alone if Portis is out for any time, he gives you great short yardage ability, has real speed and size. I can see some special things this year with him in the backfield.

However, what is the price? Quite possibly a first round and a third round draft choice next year? For a player that may well sign for another team before next Denver makes those choices. His contract ends at the conclusion of this season.

How about this headline - May 2007: "DUCKETT TO DENVER" Redskin backup T.J. Duckett signed with Denver this offseason after one year in DC.

We gave up too much for T.J. Duckett in my opinion.

Certainly we will be looking for good trades for Betts, because he will also be gone after this season.
