Reports from NFL Media indicate that safety Kyle Dugger has agreed to a new four-year contract with the Patriots. The deal, worth $58 million with a maximum of $66 million and $32.5 million in guaranteed money, was signed after the Patriots used their transition tag on him earlier in the offseason. Prior to this agreement, Dugger was set to make $13.815 million under the transition tag.
Dugger was selected by the Patriots in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft and has since become an integral part of their defense. In his time with the team, he has amassed 343 tackles, 2.5 sacks, nine interceptions, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, two interception returns for touchdowns, and a fumble recovery for a touchdown. This new contract is a reflection of his impact on the field and solidifies his future with the team.
