The New England Patriots have secured wide receiver Romeo Doubs with a four-year, $70 million contract, multiple sources confirmed Tuesday.
The 25-year-old pass catcher accumulated 202 receptions across four seasons in Green Bay, highlighted by exceptional postseason showings.
Doubs nearly powered the Packers past Chicago in January’s wild-card matchup, hauling in eight passes for 124 yards despite the loss. The former fourth-round selection from 2022 established personal bests during Green Bay’s 2023 wild-card victory over Dallas, recording 151 receiving yards and one touchdown.
New England plans to part ways with Stefon Diggs after just one campaign with the franchise. Diggs topped the team with 85 catches in 2025, while no other Patriots receiver exceeded Mack Hollins’ 46 receptions.
During the 2025 season, Doubs posted 55 catches for a personal-best 724 yards and six scores. He found the end zone three times in a tie contest against Dallas.
However, Green Bay faces salary cap constraints and has already committed to extending fellow 2022 draft mate Christian Watson for one year. Watson was selected 34th overall in the second round of 2022.
The Packers also invested their 2025 first-round selection on receiver Matthew Golden, while Jayden Reed approaches his rookie contract’s final season. When both were available in 2024, Reed drew 75 targets compared to Doubs’ 72. Despite missing significant time due to collarbone and foot ailments last season, Reed paced Green Bay with 55 catches in 2024.
New England used a second-round pick on receiver Tyquan Thornton (50th overall) in 2022, but released him during the 2024 campaign. Thornton spent last season with Kansas City and re-signed with the Chiefs on Monday.
