Patriots to Add QB Depth After Dobbs Release, Wolf Says

Overview

• Eliot Wolf said the team will keep evaluating quarterbacks across the NFL Draft, veteran free agents, and college free agents.
• New England released Joshua Dobbs, and Wolf said the move reflected Tommy DeVito’s growth in practice rather than a problem with Dobbs.
• The roster now features starter Drake Maye with DeVito under a two-year, $4.4 million deal as an affordable backup.
• Wolf indicated the Patriots plan to add at least one more quarterback through the offseason and then sort out the depth chart in training camp.
• Final decisions on carrying two or three quarterbacks will come near the late August 53-man cutdown, which aligns with how most NFL teams handle summer QB rotations.
