Patriots Sign Doubs to $68M Deal

0:00On this March 19th, here's what's making headlines for the NFL. The New England Patriots just signed former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Dubs to a four-year deal worth $68 million, including $35 million fully guaranteed. This move comes as the team looks to bolster its passing game heading into the new season. Dubs and his representatives initially pushed for $20 million per season in free agency. The Patriots weren't on board with that number right away, so they struck a compromise with built-in incentives to bridge the gap. NFL Insider, Alper Breer, highlighted how this contract lets Dubs chase his target through performance bonuses. He could add up to $3 million each year, plus roster bonuses, potentially pushing the total value to $80 million over four years. As the likely number one receiver for New England, especially after recent roster changes, Dubs steps into a big role on offense. Last season with the Packers, he posted 55 catches for 724 yards and six touchdowns.
