Romeo Doubs is expected to hit free agency in 2026 as the Packers clear space for Matthew Golden; likely suitors include the 49ers, Bills and Patriots. For bettors, futures and player-prop markets could shift: a Doubs signing in San Francisco or New England may push team passing totals and increase his receptions/TD props, while Buffalo offers value if odds underestimate their cap maneuvering.
Packers Poised to Lose Romeo Doubs in 2026 Free Agency
Romeo Doubs looks likely to test free agency in 2026 as Packers prepares to elevate Matthew Golden into a larger offensive role. Doubs, 25, finished the season with 55 receptions for 724 yards and six touchdowns — one of his best statistical campaigns — and should draw significant interest on the open market.
Why Doubs Could Be on the Move
The Packers appear intent on reshaping the receiver hierarchy, creating room for Golden to grow in Year 2. With Doubs approaching unrestricted free agency and multiple teams seeking playmakers, Green Bay may not make re-signing him a priority.
Top Landing Spots and Fit
San Francisco: With a potential roster shake-up at receiver, Doubs would be an ideal Shanahan-era target — a versatile, physical route-runner who could complement big-play pass-catchers and slot into multiple alignments.
Buffalo: The Bills continue to hunt for reliable pass-catchers to aid Josh Allen. Doubs likely wouldn’t be a clear No. 1, but he could shore up intermediate and boundary work and improve the offense’s overall passing efficiency.
New England: Doubs would pair well with veteran and emerging talent, giving a developing quarterback a reliable option across the formation and adding versatility to the Patriots’ receiving corps.
Contract Projection and Cap Landscape
Market estimates peg Doubs near a four-year, roughly $48 million deal. Projected cap space for the likely suitors varies, which will influence bidding: two teams appear to have significantly more immediate flexibility while another may need to clear space or make a targeted move.
Betting Implications
Futures: Expect early betting markets on Doubs’ landing spot. Markets may offer value before teams officially clear cap space or make cuts.
Player props: A landing in pass-heavy schemes could boost Doubs’ receptions, receiving yards and TD props for 2026.
Game totals & team TDs: Teams acquiring Doubs could see modest increases in passing volume expectations; bettors should monitor market adjustments after official signings.
Bottom Line
Doubs projects as one of the more intriguing free-agent receivers in 2026. For roster construction, he’s a meaningful loss for Green Bay and a versatile addition for contenders. Bettors should watch cap moves and team needs closely — the early market could present opportunities before sportsbooks adjust odds following signings.
Here’s Why Packers Coach Matt LaFleur Can’t Get This Hire Wrong
