Patriots' Harvey Langi: Signs one-year extension

Langi (knee) signed a one-year extension with the Patriots on Friday, Zack Cox of NESN reports.

Langi appeared in seven games for the Patriots this season, playing mostly on special teams, before a knee injury landed him on injured reserve in October. He eventually returned to practice but was never activated to the 53-man roster. He was set to become a free agent this offseason but will be back to compete for a roster spot next year. It's unclear what New England's linebacker corps will look like next season, as Dont'a Hightower, Ja'Whaun Bentley and Jamie Collins are all on expiring contracts.
