Trade went down today for the Falcons.
Atlanta traded RB T. J. Duckett to Washington. WR Ashley Lelie goes from Denver to Atlanta. Washington send a draft pick in 2007 to Denver.
This is an interesting trade, for a lot of reasons:
- Atlanta clears its clogged backfield, as Warrick Dunn has been the better back and will undoubtedly have a lot more carries this season.
- Clinton Portis must be hurt very badly, and will most likely miss significant time in the regular season - at least the first few weeks.
- Vick now has someone halfway decent to pass to, with Brian Finneran out for the season. Lelie couls step right into the #1 WR spot with the dearth of talent at wideout.
- Denver sheds a crybaby from its team and doesn't have to worry about re-signing him.
- The Braves still suck, as they lost tonight to Pittsburgh, so I can't wait for the regular season to begin.
OK, that last topic is off a bit, but you get the idea.
