The New England Patriots have reached an agreement to sign former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs to a massive four-year contract, per @RapSheet.
The deal is reportedly worth $70 million over the four-year term, marking a significant investment in the Patriots' receiving corps as they look to provide their offense with a legitimate primary target. Doubs, who became a reliable weapon in Green Bay, was one of the most sought-after pass-catchers in this year's free-agent class.
According to Ian Rapoport, the move comes as New England continues a heavy spending spree during the NFL's legal tampering period. The Patriots have been aggressive in rebuilding their roster under the current regime, and securing Doubs addresses a long-standing need for veteran talent at the position.
Further details regarding the guaranteed money and structure of the contract are expected to emerge as the deal becomes official at the start of the new league year. This signing follows a flurry of activity across the league as teams race to secure top-tier talent before the market thins.
