Romeo Doubs hasn't even fully unpacked his bags in New England yet, but the newly-acquired Patriots wide receiver is already making his voice heard—and he's got his eyes on a very specific teammate.
Since swapping the green and gold of Green Bay for the iconic Patriot blue, Doubs has been settling into his new role. But the rumor mill is churning with whispers of another blockbuster addition: A.J. Brown. The star wideout, who won a Super Bowl with the Eagles, has been linked to a reunion with his former head coach, Mike Vrabel, now at the helm in New England.
There's just one catch—timing. Cap space and dead money complications mean any potential deal likely won't happen until after June 1st. So, for now, it's a waiting game. But if the move does go through, Doubs is all in.
"I have a ton of respect for him," Doubs said recently, via Mass Live. "He's been a dude in this league for quite a long time. I understand there are a lot of rumors going around. If he's here, I'd love to have him here, and if he isn't here, I'm still going to wish him the best because he's one of the best in this league."
The speculation has fans and media alike buzzing with a "when, not if" mentality. A post-June 1 transaction seems the most likely path, which would mean June 2nd could be the day Brown officially becomes a Patriot. If that happens, second-year quarterback Drake Maye would suddenly have a dynamic duo of Doubs and Brown to target—a nightmare for opposing secondaries.
For now, it's all about patience. But if the dominoes fall as expected, New England's receiving corps just got a whole lot more interesting—and Doubs will be right there to welcome his new teammate with open arms.
