Former Patriots QB Calls Exit 'Very Frustrating' After Joining New Team
Former New England Patriots quarterback Joshua Dobbs shared why his release from the team was "very frustrating" for him.
Former New England Patriots quarterback Joshua Dobbs recently found a new team in the Detroit Lions, signing as their backup quarterback behind Jared Goff. This move comes in the wake of Teddy Bridgewater's retirement from the team. Dobbs expressed frustration with the Patriots' abrupt release, stating that the lack of OTAs and his status as a backup was a challenging situation.
He played four games for the Patriots last season but never started due to Drake Maye's health. Dobbs has had several stops in his NFL career, including time with the Minnesota Vikings, Pittsburgh Steelers, Tennessee Titans, and Arizona Cardinals. He started eight games for the Cardinals, compiling a 1-7 record, and 2-2 in four starts with the Vikings.
The Patriots were reportedly waiting to see if Dobbs could attract trade interest, but this did not transpire, leading to his release in March. As a result, Dobbs missed the start of the Patriots' preseason, and the Lions will face the Cincinnati Bengals, Washington Commanders, and Indianapolis Colts in their preseason games.
