Patriots Secure WR Doubs Amidst Shake-Up
11 Mar
Summary
- Romeo Doubs signed a four-year, $70 million contract with the Patriots.
- The Packers are managing salary cap issues and investing in other receivers.
- The Patriots released Stefon Diggs and previously released Tyquan Thornton.
Wide receiver Romeo Doubs has signed a substantial four-year contract worth $70 million with the New England Patriots. This signing occurs as the Patriots are slated to release Stefon Diggs after one season with the team. Diggs led the Patriots in receptions last season with 85, while no other receiver surpassed 46 catches.
Doubs, previously with the Green Bay Packers, recorded 55 catches for a career-high 724 yards and six touchdowns in 2025. His performance included significant contributions in playoff games. The Packers, however, are navigating salary cap challenges and have committed to an extension for Christian Watson, a fellow 2022 draft pick. Green Bay also drafted Matthew Golden in 2025 and has Jayden Reed entering the final year of his rookie deal, who had more targets than Doubs when both were healthy in 2024.
The Patriots' recent history at wide receiver includes drafting Tyquan Thornton in 2022, who was released midseason in 2024 and has since rejoined the Chiefs.
