The New England Patriots have signed wide receiver Romeo Doubs to a four-year, $70 million contract, according to multiple reports. Doubs, 25, spent the first four seasons of his NFL career with the Green Bay Packers, where he had 202 catches and two strong playoff performances. The Patriots are set to release Stefon Diggs after one season, opening up a need at the position.

Why it matters

The Patriots are making a significant investment in Doubs as they look to rebuild their receiving corps after a down year in 2025. Doubs provides a young, talented option to pair with quarterback Mac Jones as New England aims to return to the playoffs in 2026.

The details

Doubs, a fourth-round pick by the Packers in 2022, set career highs in 2025 with 55 catches for 724 yards and 6 touchdowns. He had a standout performance in a wild-card loss to the Bears, catching 8 passes for 124 yards. The Packers were unable to keep Doubs due to salary cap constraints, as they had already committed to a one-year extension with fellow 2022 draft classmate Christian Watson.

  • Doubs agreed to the 4-year, $70 million deal with the Patriots on March 11, 2026.
  • In the 2025 season, Doubs had 55 catches for 724 yards and 6 touchdowns for the Packers.
