Not content with their haul of Milton Williams and Morgan Moses, the Patriots added quarterback Josh Dobbs on a two-year deal on Monday, per multiple reports.
It's an $8 million deal with $3.8 million fully guaranteed, per NFLN's Tom Pelissero.
Dobbs, 30, spent last season as a backup in San Francisco, a role he'll reprise behind Drake Maye as New England's latest attempt to find a franchise quarterback enters its second season.
Dobbs was a feel-good story in 2023, starting the season on the hapless Cardinals before leading the Vikings to a thrilling win after a midseason trade. He struggled his way to third-string in short order.
If things don't work out with the Patriots, he has a degree in aerospace engineering and a background as an intern at the Kennedy Space Center and an ambassador for NASA’s Glenn Research Center to fall back on.
