BALTIMORE (AP) — The New England Patriots have obtained linebacker Prescott Burgess from the Baltimore Ravens for a conditional seventh-round draft pick.
Burgess was used primarily by the Ravens on special teams this season. He was picked in the sixth round of the 2007 draft and played in eight games as a rookie before spending last year on injured reserve with a shoulder injury.
After making the trade Tuesday, the Ravens filled the vacant roster spot by signing tight end Tony Curtis, a three-year veteran who was released by the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this month.
The 6-oot-5, 251-pound Curtis has played in 36 career games, making 11 catches for 50 yards and three touchdowns. He was originally signed as a rookie free agent with the Dallas Cowboys in 2005.
