"The team now projects to bump DeVito, on a cheaper contract, to the No. 2 role. A No. 3 quarterback is expected to be added later in the offseason."
"Adding Garoppolo would capsize most of the savings from releasing Dobbs, while also blocking DeVito's pending promotion."
The New England Patriots released backup quarterback Josh Dobbs, saving modest salary cap space. The team appears to favor Tommy DeVito as the new backup to Drake Maye, having signed him to a two-year extension. DeVito's cheaper contract aligns with the team's strategy to maintain a low-cost quarterback room. The Patriots are unlikely to pursue Jimmy Garoppolo, as adding him would negate savings from Dobbs' release and hinder DeVito's promotion. A No. 3 quarterback is expected to be added later in the offseason.
