When the New England Patriots released wideout Stefon Diggs, their 2025 receiving yards leader, adding talented pass catchers to the roster immediately became an even more urgent offseason priority.
The team made its first major move to address this need by inking former Green Bay Packers receiver Romeo Doubs to a four-year deal worth up to $80 million.
As things stand now, the Nevada product is set to be one of the top targets for quarterback Drake Maye in the passing game next season. Even if the Patriots do end up making a big splash in the trade market and land AJ Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles, or use one of their early-round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft on a receiver, Doubs figures to play a major role in the success of the offense during the upcoming campaign.
