Patriots Release Joshua Dobbs, Free Agent QB

0:00On March 23rd, former Tennessee quarterback Joshua Dobbs is set to hit the free agent market again. The New England Patriots plans to release the 31-year-old veteran after failing to trade him, sources say. He signed a two-year, $8 million deal last off-season, to back up Drake May. Dobbs saw very limited action during the 2025 season, playing just 44 offensive snaps. He went 7 of 10 for 65 yards with an 87.5 passer rating, that came behind May, who had a breakout year as MVP runner-up and led New England to Super Bowl 60. The move clears $3.7 million in salary cap space for the Patriots. It leaves them with only two quarterbacks on the roster now, May and Tommy DeVito, who got a two-year, $4.4 million extension after, serving as the third stringer. Dobbs has bounced around the league, playing for nine teams in nine years, with a three-and-twelve record in 15 starts. A Tennessee alum from 2013 to 2016, he majored in aerospace engineering, earning the nickname Pastronaut during his 20.
