The Patriots have claimed 25-year old safety Josh Barrett off waivers from the Broncos.  Barrett played in 14 games for the Broncos last season and he made 10 tackles.  He has now played in 20 games in his two years in the NFL and he has 32 tackles, 4 passes defensed and 1 interception.  Barrett will need shoulder surgery which will cause him to miss the 2010 season so he will be placed on I.R.  This was a move made with the future in mind according to Bill Belichick.  But you know he likes to stick it to his old coaches and Denver’s Josh McDaniels is one of them.
