Greg Bedard of the Boston Globe reports that the Patriots have reached a two-year agreement with former Broncos fullback Spencer Larsen.

It’s a very Patriots-ish move. Larsen can play fullback, special teams, and linebacker, and that kind of versatility saves roster spots. Larsen has 25 special teams tackles over the past four seasons.

Larsen is 28 years old. He was on Denver’s roster when new Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels was the Broncos’ head coach in 2009 and 2010.
