The New England Patriots intend to release backup quarterback Joshua Dobbs, who served as the No. 2 quarterback in the 2025 season. Dobbs was set to earn a base salary of $3.2 million in 2026. The decision follows the signing of Tommy DeVito to a two-year deal worth $4.4 million, projected to take over as the No. 2 quarterback. Dobbs played in four games last season, primarily in a limited capacity, with his notable performance against the Tennessee Titans.
"Dobbs, 31, served as the No. 2 quarterback behind Drake Maye in the 2025 season. He was scheduled to earn a base salary of $3.2 million in 2026 and carried a $4.75 million salary-cap charge."
"The Patriots' decision with Dobbs comes after the club signed No. 3 quarterback Tommy DeVito to a two-year deal with a base value of $4.4 million after not tendering him as a restricted free agent."
"Dobbs' signature game with the Patriots came in a 31-13 win over the Tennessee Titans on Oct. 19 when Maye left the game early in the third quarter to be evaluated for a concussion."
