Romeo Doubs "open to all roles" if Patriots trade for A.J. Brown

When Romeo Doubs signed with the Patriots in March, he moved to the top of their depth chart at wide receiver but he may not be there at this time next month.

The Patriots are expected to trade for Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown after June 1 and that would move Doubs down the pecking order in the first year of the four-year, $68 million deal he signed in New England. That might not have been exactly what Doubs had in mind after years in a crowded Packers receiver group, but he said on Tuesday that "love to have [Brown] here."

I was true to my word when I came here that there is no No. 1 guy in this offense," Doubs said, via Mark Daniels of MassLive.com. 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 catches for 1,013 yards on their way to an AFC title in 2026, but a Brown/Doubs combo might unlock even more space to grow the passing game this year.
