"The Pats' latest signing may be their most impactful move of the offseason. Per NFL insider Ian Rapoport, New England has agreed to terms with former Green Bay Packers wideout Romeo Doubs on a four-year deal worth $70 million. The move gives Drake Maye the top wideout he was missing and sets the Patriots' offense up to continue its run of dominance."
"But New England still didn't have a reliable top target. When third down and long came around, Maye didn't have a receiver he could trust to get open. This move solves that issue. Doubs may not have been the most productive receiver in 2025 (his 724 receiving yards aren't raising any eyebrows), but he was limited by a crowded receiver room in Green Bay."
"Per PFF, quarterbacks had an NFL Passer Rating of 115.9 when targeting him last season. He's had over 1.6 yards per route run in each of the last three years. Doubs is an efficient, reliable pass catcher with plenty of room to grow. Still just 25 years old, the former Packers star will be able to grow alongside Maye in Josh McDaniels' offense."
The New England Patriots addressed a critical roster need by signing former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs to a four-year, $70 million contract. Despite having solid complementary receivers like Kayshon Boutte and Mack Hollins, the Patriots lacked a dependable top target for quarterback Drake Maye, particularly in crucial third-down situations. Doubs, at 25 years old, offers efficiency and reliability as a pass catcher, posting a 115.9 passer rating when targeted and maintaining over 1.6 yards per route run for three consecutive years. The signing provides long-term stability at receiver and allows Doubs to flourish in Josh McDaniels' offense alongside Maye, positioning the Patriots' offense for continued dominance.
