I always really liked Barrett.

He gave his all on special teams, and I have fond memories of how well he covered Tony G. in the first game of his career.

Really sucks to lose him the way we did.

Best of luck Barrett!!!

Williamson would probably eat both – no questions asked.

Best of Luck to him....

A real classy player and until now I still don’t get this move. Why on earth we did that? He was a good ST player and looked like would contribute on the S position. But’s OK, let’s move on and GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Probably a better move by the pats than it was a worse move by Denver

I hope the best for Josh, and I hope he can stay healthy.

Thats Pretty Cool.

Too bad things didn’t work out. But a guy like that deserves success wherever he goes.

Thank you, Josh. I will be listening for his name and I might even smile when I hear it called during a game.

Clarification

The Broncos really had no choice when it comes to Barrett. Sure, they could have kept him active, and waited until final cuts to place him on I/R, but with all the injuries they needed bodies that could practice. Unfortunately, the Patriots jumped on him, but certainly not much the Broncos could do.

agreed

but as the article that Kap’n points to, teams typically don’t do this as they don’t want other teams doing it to them.

I wonder if Josh called Coach B and said “gee willikers Coach B!” lol

In good times and bad times, I'm a Bronco fan. Sucka.

Paybacks are a b*tch, Coach B…

Thought you didnt have to wait for final cuts just the first cut?

From 80 to 75 that is. Not that the dates differ by more than a couple days

SIGH...

I still remeber the day when we signed Josh… it was on his b-day…. wish him a long healthy career… much respect Mr. Barret

Josh

circumstances and friends have made me an Arizona Wildcats fan in college. Thus, let me say you’re a great ASU Sun Devil alum and we Broncos fans appreciated you while you’re here. Smart guy, he thanks Mr. Bowlen!

I'm gonna miss him.

Hopefully he finds his way back here, somehow.
