Moore signed; 2 waived - (12/18)
The Patriots shook up the back end of their roster Tuesday, waiving defensive backs Rashad Baker and Eddie Jackson. The team also signed free-agent nose tackle Rashad Moore, who was with the team in training camp. Prior to the moves, the Patriots were deep with 11 defensive backs on the roster, but had just five defensive linemen. The addition of Moore, who is more of a pure nose tackle and projects to back up Vince Wilfork, adds help up front after the team lost backup nose Mike Wright to a season-ending foot injury last week. The 6-foot-3, 325-pound Moore was with the Patriots in training camp but has not hooked on with a team this season. Second-year player Le Kevin Smith was the Patriots' backup nose tackle in Sunday's win over the Jets, although the Patriots might be more comfortable with him at end in the 3-4 alignment, thus leading to the decision to bring in Moore. Baker, a reserve safety, played in eight games and made his primary contributions on special teams. A cornerback, Jackson opened the year on the physically unable to perform list as he was recovering from a torn ACL and returned to play in three games, mostly on special teams.
At linebacker, fantastic 4 - (12/18)
When the Patriots lost outside linebacker Rosevelt Colvin to a season-ending foot injury Nov. 25, the team went from a five-man linebacker rotation to a four-man setup. One of the concerns was how the increased workload would affect the remaining linebackers - Junior Seau (38 years old), Tedy Bruschi (34), Mike Vrabel (32), and Adalius Thomas (30).

Patriots reaction - (12/18)
FOXBOROUGH -- The Patriots held their annual Salvation Army Holiday Party tonight at Gillette Stadium, and players in attendance included safety Rodney Harrison, defensive lineman Richard Seymour, linebacker Tedy Bruschi, tight end David Thomas (injured reserve), and offensive linemen Wesley Britt and Russ Hochstein. One of the hot topics was the team's eight Pro Bowl selections. “The thing that I’m so proud about the guys that made it is that they are all guys that are number one about the team,” Harrison said. “They focus on the team, and what the team accomplishes, without worrying about individual accomplishments. You can have a bunch of Pro Bowlers, but if you don’t do anything with it, it’s all for naught.” Seymour was asked about Wilfork, his sidekick on the line. "It's long overdue, but I think good things come to those who wait," Seymour said. "He's definitely one of the elite defensive players in this league. He's having a great year."
Patriots send 8 to the Pro Bowl - (12/18)
The New England Patriots are sending 8 members of their team to the Pro Bowl this season. This is the most since 1985, when they also sent 8 players to the Pro Bowl.
