The New England Patriots have officially re-signed quarterback Tommy DeVito to a two-year contract worth $4.4 million, according to @RapSheet. The agreement notably includes guaranteed compensation for the 2026 season, signaling a significant commitment from the organization to the quarterback.
The move to secure DeVito has immediate ramifications for the rest of the Patriots quarterback depth chart. According to the report, New England engaged in trade discussions with other teams regarding veteran quarterback Josh Dobbs. However, following those conversations, the team is now moving toward the likely release of Dobbs.
DeVito originally joined the Patriots earlier this offseason, and this extension solidifies his status within the team's plans for the coming years. Dobbs, a seasoned veteran who has seen action for several franchises, will now likely head to the free-agent market to seek a new opportunity once his release is finalized.
The Patriots' decision to prioritize DeVito with a multi-year deal highlights their confidence in his fit within the system. While the full contract breakdown has not been fully disclosed, the 2026 guarantee remains the most critical component of the deal's structure as the team continues to reshape its roster.
