Browns Claim G Chris Barker Off Waivers From Patriots, Waive DL Gabe Wright

The Cleveland Browns announced Friday that they’ve claimed OL Chris Barker off waivers from the Patriots and waived DL Gabe Wright.

Barker, 26, originally signed on with the Dolphins as an undrafted free agent out of Nevada in May of 2013. However, he was unable to make the final 53-man roster and was placed on waivers at the start of the 2013 season.

New England later claimed him off of waivers and he’s been on and off of the team’s practice squad for the past few years. The Patriots brought Barker back on a future/reserve contract this past February before cutting him loose yesterday.
