Patriots Bet on Romeo Doubs as No. 1 WR, Shaping A.J. Brown Trade Stance

Evaluators say his target share with Drake Maye positions him for a first 1,000-yard season.

Overview

  • New England finalized a four-year, $68 million deal for the former Packer, with about $39 million guaranteed.
  • Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton named Doubs a top breakout candidate, pointing to Stefon Diggs’ departure and an expected surge in targets with Drake Maye.
  • Former Patriot Logan Ryan endorsed Doubs as a plug-and-play No. 1 option, praising his route-running and hands and calling the contract strong value.
  • MassLive/Yahoo reporting says the signing reduces the Patriots’ urgency in A.J. Brown discussions with the Eagles, with June 1 logistics noted as a potential factor.
  • Doubs totaled 202 receptions, 2,424 yards and 21 touchdowns across four seasons in Green Bay, including a career-high 724 yards in 2025, though some analysts see the price as a calculated gamble.
