BREAKING NEWS: Lelie traded in three-way deal
Both Ashley Lelie and T.J. Duckett were involved in a trade. However, while some might think Duckett would be headed to Denver as a good fit for their system, the trade did not involve solely each other. The Washington Redskins have acted as a liaison by acquiring Duckett. Ashley Lelie is now an Atlanta Falcon.
The compensation that the Broncos would receive from the Redskins is a bit murky right now. The Atlanta Constitution has reported that it would be a third or fourth round pick. However, the Rocky Mountain News has reported that the Redskins will yield a first AND third rounder if the Broncos finish with a better record than the Redskins. If not, the Broncos would receive a third AND a fourth rounder.
If the RMN is correct, this is a positive shocker, and would mean that this would be the second season in a row that Broncos fans would be rooting against the Redskins.
Stay tuned as the facts become clearer.
EDIT 8:35 PM: The RMN has re-written their article, as you can see by following their link. They have now reported that Denver and Washington would instead flip-flop first round picks in addition to getting a third if the Broncos have a better record. This makes a lot more sense.
