  • Duckett Speculation Knocked Down

    http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2557061

    The money quotes:

    Falling value and asking price of Falcons:
    It is not known what kind of price tag Atlanta has set for Duckett, the Falcons' first-round choice in the 2002 draft, and a player clearly coveted by some tailback-needy franchises. The Falcons rejected a proposal by the Pittsburgh Steelers on draft weekend in April, and there were reports at the time that Atlanta wanted a third-round choice for him.
    And why he shouldn't be in a Packer uniform:
    Duckett, 25, is not a good fit for the one-cut running game the Falcons emphasize and is viewed around the league more as a "downhill" runner. He is entering the final season of his original rookie contract, and will be eligible for unrestricted free agency next spring, and the Falcons stand the prospect of losing him and not receiving any compensation unless they trade him.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    And no, I didn't see the Packers mentioned as one of the fours teams they have had discussions with.
