Patriots Trade Dobbs, Sign DeVito for QB Depth

It's March 23rd. Welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story.

The New England Patriots are tweaking their quarterback lineup ahead of the new season.

They're set to release Josh Dobbs, who served as a backup to starter Drake May.

The team first tried to trade him, but couldn't find any interest.

Now, Tommy DeVito looks poised to take over as the primary backup.

The Patriots signed DeVito to a two-year deal worth $4.4 million earlier this off-season,

bringing him over from the New York. Giants.

Fans and analysts see this as a clear vote of confidence in DeVito's potential.

Last season, Dobbs had dropped a third string after DeVito's arrival,

and the death-charge shuffle underscores the team's focus on building around. May?

This move comes after New England's strong run to the Super Bowl, where May led the charge.

Officials emphasize having reliable options behind him to sustain that success.

With Dobbs hitting free agency soon, the Patriots are streamlining their roster,

while keeping eyes on long-term stability at the position.
