The New England Patriots moved for former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs , agreeing a four-year deal reportedly worth between $70 million and $80 million. With the Patriots intent on building around quarterback Drake Maye , Doubs effectively replaces Stefon Diggs , who led the team with 1,013 receiving yards last season.

However, it seems as if New England was not the only potential landing spot for the 26-year-old. The Washington Commanders had reportedly also offered a competitive contract, but Doubs ended up choosing the Patriots, per a post on X by ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. While both teams were seen as his 'primary options,' Doubs ended up choosing Maye and the Patriots.
The Nevada product is yet to complete a 1,000-yard season despite being a regular contributor for Green Bay since joining as the 132nd pick of the 2022 NFL draft.
During the 2025 season, Doubs posted 55 receptions for a career-high 724 yards and six touchdowns, leading the Packers in both catches and receiving yardage. This is despite the fact that he played in a crowded receiving room that included Watson, Jayden Reed , Dontayvion Wicks and Matthew Golden . He finished 2025 with 85 targets and appeared in all 17 regular-season games.
Further, the Patriots potentially represent a better fit considering the current options. New England's current wide receiver group includes Kayshon Boutte , Mack Hollins , Demario Douglas , Kyle Williams and Efton Chism III , none of whom have established themselves as a consistent No. 1 target.

At 6-foot-2 and 204 pounds, Doubs has also established himself as a clutch performer. In four career playoff appearances, he has caught 20 passes for 371 yards and two touchdowns.
His most recent performance came in the Packers' wild-card loss to the Chicago Bears , when he recorded eight receptions for 124 yards and a touchdown. Overall, Doubs had 202 receptions for 2,424 yards and 21 touchdowns across 59 regular-season games (50 starts) for the Packers.
Regardless, fans will be excited considering Doubs had other options as well, and instead chose to ply his trade at the Patriots.
