The New England Patriots plan to release quarterback Josh Dobbs after failing to find a trade partner, NFL Network reported Monday.
Dobbs has one season left on the two-year, $8 million deal he signed last March to become Drake Maye's backup.
Earlier this month, the Patriots re-signed quarterback Tommy DeVito, who joined the team last offseason and served as New England's emergency third-string quarterback, to a two-year, $4.4 million contract.
The Patriots will save $3.7 in salary-cap space but take on $1.05 million in dead money with Dobbs' release.
Dobbs, 31, appeared in four games for New England last season, completing 7 of 10 passes for 65 yards. The 2017 fourth-round pick has appeared in 27 games (15 starts with a 3-12 record) with six teams over six seasons, completing 62.8% of his passes for 3,346 yards, 17 touchdowns and 15 interceptions, adding 515 rushing yards and eight scores.
DeVito, 27, didn't appear in a game last season for New England but started eight of the 12 games he played for the New York Giants from 2023-24. He threw for 1,358 yards, eight touchdowns and three interceptions along with 227 yards and one rushing score.
