The New England Patriots finally have a new wide receiver. The Patriots have agreed to a four-year, $68 million deal with free-agent wide receiver Romeo Doubs, Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reports. If Dobbs reaches other incentives his contract reaches a maximum of $80 million.
The 25-year-old wide receiver has spent his entire NFL career with the Green Bay Packers. During the 2024–25 NFL season, Dobbs earned 55 receptions, 724 yards, and six touchdowns in 16 games. Dobbs has also played more than 13 games in every season of his NFL career with Green Bay. This is a big payday for one of the best wide receivers in free agency.
New England was linked to Alec Pierce before he re-signed with the Indianapolis Colts, so this is no surprise. Doubs was arguably the third-best wide receiver on the market behind Pierce and Wan’Dale Robinson, so $17 million per year and the potential for $20 million is an excellent deal for both sides.
The Patriots are also in talks with the Philadelphia Eagles regarding wide receiver AJ Brown, but that shouldn’t take them out of the mix. Brown has been New England’s top target, and the team was ready to add him and Stefon Diggs to the roster at the right price.
Doubs currently leads the wide receiver room and is followed by Kayshon Boutte, Kyle Williams, Mack Hollins and others. However, the Patriots’ offense would be elite if they could find a way to acquire a wide receiver that would put Doubs in the WR2 role. For now, former Packer Drake will serve as Maye’s top target.
Wide receiver was New England’s top need heading into NFL free agency, so Dobbs checked a box in replacing Diggs. Now, the Patriots will move forward with their other needs as they continue their pursuit of Brown.
