The New England Patriots are shoring up depth on their Special Teams.
Per Ian Rapoport the team has reportedly agreed to a two-year deal with outside linebacker Brandon King.
The #Patriots are signing LB Brandon King to a 2-year extension, source said. A core special teamer, this is a key depth move for New England.

King, 25, was signed by the Patriots as an undrafted free agent out of Auburn in 2015.
With quite a bit of depth on defense, King was relegated to special teams where like Brandon Bolden and Matthew Slater, carved out a niche.
In his career, he has 13 total tackles, as well as a safety where he took down wide receiver Travis Benjamin in the end zone on a punt return in 2017.
This is his second contract extension he has signed within a year with the other two-year contract signed last March.
