The New England Patriots are reportedly eyeing Romeo Doubs as a potential No. 2 wide receiver, possibly indicating a shift away from Kayshon Boutte. Doubs has performed consistently in past seasons with the Green Bay Packers, and with the addition of A.J. Brown, his role in the Patriots' offense may become more defined. This move follows strong offseason acquisitions in the receiving corps that might provide alternatives if Boutte is moved.
