Patriots face scrutiny over Romeo Doubs' contract expectations

Summary

The New England Patriots are under pressure following their substantial investment in wide receiver Romeo Doubs, signing him to a $68 million deal. Analysts have raised concerns regarding Doubs' past performance, noting he has never surpassed 800 receiving yards in a season. Despite being considered a solid option as a No. 2 receiver, the Patriots' confidence in Doubs hinges on factors beyond his control, including the performance of A.J. Brown and quarterback Drake Maye. The team now looks to Doubs to significantly contribute and justify his contract, especially with a first-round draft pick given up for Brown.
