The Patriots have acquired 31-year old OLB/DE Derrick Burgess from the Raiders for a 3rd and 5th round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft.  Burgess played in 10 games for the Raiders last season and he made 24 tackles, defensed 2 passes, had 3.5 sacks and he forced 1 fumble.  He has now played in 85 games over his seven year NFL career and he has made 227 tackles, has defensed 7 passes, had 47 sacks and he has forced 5 fumbles.  This is exactly the kind of player the Patriots love and this will likely wind up being a good trade for them.
