What Kyle Dugger, Anfernee Jennings said about trade rumors, staying with Patriots

FOXBOROUGH — It hasn’t been an easy summer for Kyle Dugger and Anfernee Jennings.

Despite both players’ standing as established veterans in the Patriots’ locker room, both found themselves stuck on the roster bubble entering cutdown day on Tuesday.

Trade rumors swirled around both Dugger and Jennings over the last few weeks as both players slid down the depth chart — with each player logging snaps well into the fourth quarter during preseason action.

But by the time Tuesday’s 4 p.m. deadline for roster cuts had arrived, both Dugger and Jennings remained on New England’s 53-man squad ahead of the 2025 campaign.
