Just a year after signing a hefty contract extension with the Patriots, safety Kyle Dugger appears to be fighting for his spot on the roster.
The Patriots have reportedly talked to at least one other team about trading Dugger, and he has also been mentioned as a possible surprise cut candidate. He has played late in the second half of all three preseason games, which is something that starters typically don’t do.
Considering that Dugger’s one of the top-12 highest paid safeties in the league, he’d be an incredibly pricey backup.
