Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga., Aug. 22 (UPI) -- The Atlanta Falcons got wide receiver Ashley Lelie from Denver and sent running back T.J. Duckett to Washington Tuesday as part of a three-team deal.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported the deal although it has not yet been officially announced.
The paper reported the Redskins shipped a third- or fourth-round pick to Denver.
Lelie, a 6-foot-3, 200-pound wide-out has been a no-show at Denver's entire training camp, a move the paper reported cost him $14,000 in fines.
Last season, Lelie caught 42 passes for 770 yards and a touchdown. The previous season he had 54 catches for 1,084 yard and seven touchdowns. In four seasons, Lelie has caught 168 passes for 3,007 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Duckett appeared in 14 games last season and rushed for 380 yards on 121 attempts and scored eight times. In his four year career, the six-foot, 254-pound Michigan State product has 2,175 yards on 552 carries with 31 touchdowns.
