Report: Bucs claim Patriots C Ted Larsen off waivers

SEPTEMBER 05, 2010

The Bucs began raiding NFL teams for talent by claiming center Ted Larsen off waivers from the New England Patriots, according to ESPNBoston.com.

The 6-foot-2, 305-pound Larsen was a sixth-round pick by the Patriots from North Carolina State. The Patriots had hoped to sneak him through waivers and re-sign him to their practice squad.

Larsen is a Tampa Bay native. He played at Palm Harbor University High School.

The Bucs have not confirmed the transaction, but upon completion, they will have to release a player to make room for Larsen on the roster. Tampa Bay kept seven receivers, so that's the position most likely to be trimmed.
