The New England Patriots are planning to release backup quarterback Josh Dobbs after failing to find a trade partner. Dobbs, who spent last season backing Drake Maye, is now set to become a free agent. The move will save $3.7 million against the salary cap with $1.05 million in dead money. This comes after the Patriots re-signed Tommy DeVito, who served as their third-string quarterback last season, to a two-year, $4.4 million deal.
