Redskins Acquire Falcons' Duckett (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/22/AR2006082201075.html)
Three-Team Deal Includes Denver
Hot Corner (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/22/AR2006082201074.html)
Redskins' Rogers Is Still Scratching the Surface of His Talent
Visions of glory flashed before Carlos Rogers's eyes. The errant pass from Seattle quarterback Matt Hasselbeck was in his hands. He would tuck the ball and run untouched into the end zone, giving the Washington Redskins an early lead in the NFC second-round playoff game. The Redskins would go on to win and play the following weekend for the chance to reach the Super Bowl in the cornerback's rookie season.
Then he dropped the ball.
-- I can still feel the sickness in my gut from that one.

Redskins suddenly look weak (http://www.startribune.com/101/story/629907.html)
• have been outscored 46-17 against the Bengals and Jets.
• have a team passer rating of 50.2 with five interceptions and one touchdown. (Mark Brunell's rating weighs in at 44.0).
• gave up 216 yards rushing to a Jets team that still didn't have a legitimate NFL running back at the time.
• are starting Kenny Wright at cornerback. Yeah, that Kenny Wright.
"Yeah, they've had a bad stretch of luck," Smoot said. "But we want them all back. I know I want to play the Redskins. This is my return to FedEx. I want to make a statement."

Broncos trade Lelie in three-way deal (http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/nfl/article/0,2777,DRMN_23918_4937878,00.html)
Receiver sent to Falcons; team gets 2007 draft help
The Broncos agreed to terms on a three-way deal that will send Lelie to the Atlanta Falcons once the paperwork is completed. The Falcons will send, according to two league sources, running back T.J. Duckett to the Washington Redskins and the Redskins will send a combination of draft picks to the Broncos.
Based on the teams' finish this season, the Broncos, at best, could end up with the Redskins' first- and third-round picks in the 2007 draft if the Redskins finish with a worse record than the Broncos.
In that scenario, the Broncos and Redskins would flip-flop first-round picks, with Denver moving up in the opening round and the Redskins moving down. The Broncos would then get the Redskins' third-round pick as well.
