Patriots Release QB Josh Dobbs, Sign Tommy DeVito

0:00It's March 23rd. I'm Cory with the story, and this is NFL News Today Football News Power by AI. The New England Patriots are set to release backup quarterback Josh Dobbs after failing to find a trade partner. The 31-year-old signed a two-year $8 million deal with the team back in March 2025. This move clears $3.7 million in salary cap space, though it leaves $1.05 million in debt money. Last season, Dobbs served as the backup to starter Drake May during the Patriots run to Super Bowl 60. He saw limited action in just four games, completing seven of 10 passes for 65 yards with no touchdowns or picks. With Dobbs out, the Patriots have turned to Tommy DeVito, resigning the former third stringer to a two-year $4.4 million contract. DeVito now lines up as May's primary backup for next season. Dobbs has been a journeyman since getting drafted by Pittsburgh in the fourth round back in 2017. He suited up for 17s over nine years, starting 15 games with a three-and-twelve
