Re: We traded for T.J. Duckett?

How can anyone not like this trade, his initials are TD! Ok, hokeyness aside, this is a fantastic move for the Redskins. This should ensure there won't be as much of a dropoff if Portis is dinged and provide a nice battering ram at the goal line and in short yardage situations.

Anyone else remember when Gibbs used to have a 3rd and 1 near mid-field, put Riggins or Riggs in and do play action and go deep? Worked almost everytime. Look for it again this year..

Gibbs has a bruiser for goalline situation, as well as another change of pace back. MJG has a good point, as I am happy with all 4 as well.

Plus, it makes it that much easier to keep Warrick Dunn in my keeper league (got him 5th round last year)

I posted it here in this thread on that link.

I didn't provide a link to the denver paper because the link wasn't working. Here it is anyways Rocky Mountain News: Broncos & NFL

It looked like kffl.com made a mistake and they already have a thing correcting it.

Broncos | Team could swap first-round picks with Washington
Tue, 22 Aug 2006 20:17:35 -0700

Correcting a previous report, the Denver Broncos could swap first-round picks with the Washington Redskins as part of the three-team deal involving former Broncos WR Ashley Lelie. If the Broncos finish with a better record than the Redskins, Denver would receive the Redskins' third-round pick and they would flip-flop first-round picks. If the Redskins finish with a better record than the Broncos, Denver would receive the Redskins' third- and fourth-round picks in the 2007 NFL Draft.
I am finding all this on the eagle site by the way.

Foxsports is reporting we traded a Third to the Falcons, and then they traded a third to the Broncos.

FOX Sports - NFL - Falcons, Broncos deal former No. 1 picks

And Larry Michaels is reporting that we sent a third to denver.

I don't think we will have a clue of the peramaters of this deal until we hear it from Gibbs own mouth.

Right.

I can't wait to hear what the real deal is.

All this speculating is getting crazy.

Re: We traded for T.J. Duckett?

it is a three way deal, all three parties got something in exchange theres no third to the falcons just lelie, and as far as tj goes it looks like the "DVD" connection in atlanta is finaly over, but personally i feel duckett has always been a beast, and now we might re-coup the third round loss with a trade of betts or maybe a solid corner. speaking of corners how is mike rumph fairing?

Re: We traded for T.J. Duckett?

Guys, Im sorry to say I have not read 23 pages of this thread to see if this concern has been addressed. Duckett is a free agent at the end of this season, so is Ladell. If Ladell has any trade value, don't we have to move him now? Also, it is very very possible that we just gave away a 3rd rounder for the services of a backup for one lousy season.

Maybe we trade Ladell for a 3rd rounder from the Broncos!

I believe his first getup of the season will be Sally Sideline, or Benchwarmer Betty.

Re: We traded for T.J. Duckett?

he is a restricted free agent at the end of this year soo that gives us more safety but betts is an unrestricted free agent which means anyone can bid on him we dont get first dibs.
