When Romeo Doubs signed with the Patriots in March, he assumed the top spot on their wide receiver depth chart. However, that position may change by the end of June. The Patriots are expected to trade for Philadelphia Eagles star wide receiver A.J. Brown after June 1, which would push Doubs down the pecking order in the first year of his four-year, $68 million contract.

While the move may not have been what Doubs envisioned after years in a crowded Packers receiver group, he remains positive about the potential arrival of Brown. On Tuesday, Doubs stated,

"I was true to my word when I came here that there is no No. 1 guy in this offense. So, whatever it is I have to do, whether it’s playing into the strength more or playing on the backside every here and now, or even having [revolving roles], which I’m really familiar with because I’ve done it in Green Bay also. I’m open to all roles. That’s just part of this league. You know, the more you can do, the more you can do for the team, the more you show for yourself, just things of that nature."

Stefon Diggs led the Patriots with 85 receptions for 1,013 yards en route to an AFC title in 2026. However, a potential Brown-Doubs tandem could further expand the team’s passing game this season.
