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.

Being so Duckett is only 25, I see a 5 year deal in his future if he has a stellar season.

Ok, you've asked for it.

How tall are you?

This is assuming Duckett wants to stay with us as a goal line/change of pace back rather than the featured back (25+ carries a game). Something he already was grumbling about with the Falcons. He might but I'm not banking on him staying past this year.

Re: We traded for T.J. Duckett?
 

I understand everyone's being cautious about this, but I couldn't be happier. We NEED a short yardage back. Duckett is one of the best in the league. I think we were all concerned about Portis' durability getting the ball 25-30 times in a game. This alleviates that concern.

I remember reading an article this summer where Portis had been talking about wanting Edgerrin James to sign with the skins to help share the load and keep fresh. That tells me that CP is going to LOVE this. That's not the case with every back as some guys see it as a threat to their job. If he wanted a quality back to team with, why not?

Every single person I know who is a fan of other teams (cowgirls, eagles, ravens, etc...) all asked me the same question: How do you guys do this under the cap? To hear the exasperation in their voices is a thing of beauty. They just get this confused look on their face that's impossible to understand.

Everyone worried about sending a 1st to the Broncos if we finish with a worse record has got to look at it this way: We put our money where our mouth is. Our front office had the balls to say TO A LIKELY SUPERBOWL CONTENDER that after everything is said and done this year, we will be the better team. How does that not psyche you up as a fan of this team?

Lastly, Joe Gibbs signed off on this move. That's really all I need to know.

Peace.

Winning will be a lot more fun than playing for the Falcons though, so that could make him want to stay.

I bet I'm the shortest one here. :)

Thats something we have to examine. Im sure they will find that out soon as I figure they'll talk contract unless the plan is not trade betts but rather have a competition to see who is more productive but that is kinda lame. I like how we keep adding veterans everyweek.

Re: We traded for T.J. Duckett?
 

I heard a caller on the Dan Patrick show today mention that there were a number of grumblings in the Atlanta area about trading Duckett. It's nice to know we got someone that the other team or fan base actually wanted to keep.
