New England Patriots wide receiver Romeo Doubs addressed playing his former team, the Green Bay Packers during the 2026 NFL season.
Former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs moved on to sign a free agency contract with the New England Patriots this offseason. But he won’t be quite done with Green Bay this fall.
The Packers will visit Doubs and the New England Patriots in Foxboro during the 2026 NFL season.
The NFL media often bills those kinds of meetings as “revenge games” across the league nowadays. But the receiver made it clear to reporters this week that he has no reason to seek “revenge” against the Packers.
“Green Bay took care of me. You know, it wouldn’t be a reason for me to have that type of pressure against them, because again, my career started there,” Doubs said, via SI on Patriots’ Ethan Hurwitz. “They taught me the foundation of football, how football works, situational football.
“Just understanding complimentary football, how teams can be, just the overall game in general. They showed me the ropes in that area. And again, I do know that we played them this year, but … it’s not even like that.”
Doubs spent the first four years of his NFL career with the Packers. In 59 games, the wideout posted 202 receptions, 2,424 receiving yards and 21 touchdowns during his Green Bay stint.
The Packers will find out when they visit Foxboro this week. The NFL will announce its full 2026 regular season schedule Thursday night.
