Two players who have long rumored to be heading elsewhere were finally traded Tuesday night.
The Washington Redskins have traded a third-round pick to the Atlanta Falcons for running back T.J. Duckett. The Falcons then turned around and traded a third-round choice to Denver for wide receiver Ashley Lelie.
Lelie has been trying to get out of Denver for the past year as his role was given to newcomer Javon Walker.
Duckett was made expendable as the Falcons had fallen in love with draft pick Jerious Norwood. Duckett gives the Redskins insurance in case Clinton Portis' shoulder injury is serious.
Lelie replenishes the Falcons' receiving core, which was thinned by a knee injury to Brian Finneran went down in the first week of camp.
