How will new S Kyle Dugger fit in the Steelers’ defense?
The Steelers are reportedly acquiring S Kyle Dugger from the Patriots in a very low-cost trade—but is there upside? Dugger is an experienced player getting long in the tooth and having fallen out of favor in New England. The Steelers need a safety, but it’s not immediately clear what their intentions are with him.
Perhaps the cost of admission will be illuminating. Kyle Dugger was set to earn nearly $10 million this year, but the Steelers are paying very little for him. The Patriots are including a seventh-round pick as part of the package for only a sixth in return.
