The Patriots release QB Joshua Dobbs, saving $3.7M, and re-sign rookie Tommy DeVito.

The New England Patriots plan to release backup quarterback Joshua Dobbs, who has one year remaining on his $8 million contract, after failing to trade him. The move saves $3.7 million in salary cap space but incurs $1.05 million in dead money. Dobbs, 31, played in four games in 2024, completing 7 of 10 passes for 65 yards. The Patriots have re-signed quarterback Tommy DeVito to a two-year, $4.4 million deal, elevating him to the No. 2 quarterback behind starter Drake Maye.
