AFC Personnel Moves & Wide Receiver Market

The Patriots informed quarterback Joshua Dobbs of his impending release, signaling that former Giants backup Tommy DeVito is poised to assume the role of QB2 in New England. This internal shuffling comes as the receiver market established a new financial ceiling in Seattle, where Jaxon Smith-Njigba secured a massive deal, agreeing to a four-year, $168.6 million extension that immediately crowns him the highest-paid wide receiver in league history. Contextually, these high-value commitments prompt scrutiny regarding investment success, as historical data from 2013 through 2022 shows that many megadeals fail to deliver, citing examples ranging from Tom Brady’s initial large signing to the disappointing trajectory of Brock Osweiler’s contract.
