The New England Patriots are reportedly releasing veteran quarterback Josh Dobbs after just one season with the franchise, according to multiple reports.

Dobbs joined the Patriots during the 2023 season as a backup quarterback option. The 29-year-old veteran has played for multiple NFL teams throughout his career, including stints with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans, Arizona Cardinals, and Minnesota Vikings before arriving in New England.

The move comes as NFL teams across the league are making roster adjustments ahead of the upcoming season. Teams are evaluating their depth charts and making decisions on veteran players as they prepare for free agency and the NFL Draft.

Dobbs' release adds him back to the pool of available quarterbacks as teams look to address their needs at the position. His experience as both a starter and backup option could make him attractive to franchises seeking veteran depth at quarterback.

The Patriots will now need to evaluate their quarterback room and determine whether to pursue other veteran options or focus on developing younger talent on their roster.
