Wide receiver Romeo Doubs has agreed to a four-year, $80 million contract with the New England Patriots, according to multiple reports. Doubs, 25, spent the first four seasons of his career with the Green Bay Packers, recording 202 catches and making a name for himself with strong playoff performances. The Patriots are set to release Stefon Diggs after one season, creating an opening for Doubs to step in as a top receiving threat.

Why it matters

The Patriots are looking to rebuild their receiving corps after a down year in 2025, and Doubs represents a significant investment as they aim to surround quarterback Mac Jones with more talent. Doubs' arrival could also signal the end of Stefon Diggs' time in New England after just one season.

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 the Packers' wild-card playoff loss to the Bears, catching 8 passes for 124 yards. The Patriots are expected to release Stefon Diggs, who led the team with 85 receptions in 2025, clearing the way for Doubs to become a top target for quarterback Mac Jones.
