Len Pasquarelli, of ESPN.com, reports the Detroit Lions have signed free-agent RB T.J. Duckett (Redskins) to a one-year contract worth between $1.5 million and $2 million. The Lions recently cut ties with 12 yr veteran FB Cory Schlesinger. Duckett a former MSU Spartan and 1st round pick is 26 years old. Seems like a good value. Nice pick up Moe.
March 10, ESPN.com: For the second time in two weeks, the Detroit Lions have bolstered their running back depth chart, with ESPN.com learning that the team on Friday night reached a contract agreement with unrestricted free agent T.J. Duckett. A former first-round draft choice, Duckett will sign a one-year contract worth between $1.5 million-$2 million. ... A solid short-yardage and goal-line back, as evidenced by the 27 touchdowns he scored 2003-2005, Duckett also possesses surprising elusiveness. His goal is to re-establish himself with the Lions in 2007 and then perhaps go back into the free agent market again next spring.
