The New England Patriots have lost another member of their free agency class. Special teamer Brandon King will leave the organization to sign a one-year contract with the Indianapolis Colts, as first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
King, 28, originally joined the Patriots as a rookie free agent following the 2015 NFL Draft, starting his career on the team’s practice squad. After arriving on New England’s 53-man squad in October 2015, he established himself as a core member of the team’s kicking game units.
Even though nagging injuries forced him to miss both the 2019 and the 2020 seasons, he appeared in a combined 85 regular season and playoff games as a Patriot — all while helping the organization win two Super Bowls and regularly finding himself among the best special teamers in football.
