As Brady Quinn begins his first full-day as a Denver Bronco Adam Caplan of Scout.com is reporting that restricted free agent safety Josh Barrett has been re-signed by the club.

Barrett was drafted in 2008 by the Broncos in the seventh round (228th pick overall), in the NFL combine he was touted as the biggest, fastest safety available.

Shortly after preseason finished in 2008 Barrett was signed to the Broncos practice squad, he was placed on the active roster in late November and recorded his first career interception two weeks later against Jake Delhomme then of the Carolina Panthers.

In 2009 he participated in fourteen games, starting none, accumulating ten tackles (nine solo) and participating on special teams.

Barrett becomes the second Broncos restricted free agent to sign with the team. Terms for the contract are not immediately confirmed, but it is believed to be a one year deal. [scout.com]

    I like this signing. He is actually one of the better players in the league at covering tight ends and is a very good special teams player. If he can learn to loosen his hips, he could actually be a very good every down player.

    First pick off Jake Delhomme? That's not an accomplishment. I can get a pick off that kid!

    Kid?

    Careful, Mike Holmgren thinks Delhomme's better than Brady Quinn…

    Great special teamer. The main knock on him before the draft still reigns true though.

    why dont we sign joey porter? he is a beast. he talks alot but he backs it up on the field. played a 3-4 and would fit right in. i dont understand some of the moves. like i have said on this site i would have gone after boldin for a 3rd we need a backup running back like jones and a linebacker like porter. all these players bring it. they are all in great shape. that is what we need. if this was done we would be set going into the draft and just looking to get younger on defense. i would give westbrooke a shot or even fargas. anything is better than arrington! i would even try to get portis from washington.
