The New England Patriots are bolstering their receiving corps, signing former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs in free agency, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The move provides a significant veteran weapon for young quarterback Drake Maye as the Patriots look to revitalize their offensive unit. Doubs, 24, transitions to Foxborough after a productive tenure in Green Bay where he emerged as a reliable target and a consistent red-zone threat. His arrival marks a key addition for head coach Jerod Mayo in his efforts to surrounding Maye with proven playmakers.
During his time with the Packers, Doubs proved his worth as a vertical threat and a dependable chain-mover. In the 2023 season, he recorded 59 receptions for 674 yards and eight touchdowns, including a standout performance during the postseason. His ability to win contested catches is expected to provide a much-needed boost to a Patriots passing game that lacked explosive options last season.
The financial terms of the agreement have not yet been disclosed. Doubs joins a New England wideout room looking for a definitive lead option, and he is expected to compete for the top spot on the depth chart immediately, per @RapSheet.
