"I haven't had any talks about an extension, but I would love to stay. This feels like home. I've been here three seasons now, and I love the coaching staff and my teammates. I loved working with the coaches last year; it felt like I finally got to work with a complete staff. I would definitely love to come back."
"Although he seems to have finally hit his stride later in the season last year, he still didn't have a pivotal role on offense, as he didn't start a single game in 2025, and it's difficult to see that changing, despite the fact that he fills a very specific role."
The Patriots upgraded their receiving corps during the 2025 season, supporting Drake Maye's development in his second year. However, the team faces difficult roster decisions, including potentially parting with Stefon Diggs and DeMario Douglas. Douglas, 25, is entering the final year of his rookie contract and has not discussed an extension with the team. Though he improved late in the season, he did not start any games in 2025. Douglas expressed his desire to remain with the Patriots, citing the coaching staff continuity and team chemistry he finally experienced. His three-year production totals 146 receptions for 1,629 yards and six touchdowns.
