Near the top of that list was safety Kyle Dugger, even though he initially did not sign a new deal with the club. The Patriots opted to use the transition tag, keeping Dugger from the open market and giving both sides time to continue working on a contract.
Earlier this month, news broke that Dugger and the Patriots had reached an agreement on a new four-year, $58 million deal. The contract details demonstrate a substantial long-term commitment by the Patriots to their starting safety.
Dugger's four-year deal includes $29.75 million in guarantees, split between a signing bonus and salary guarantees. This financial security and commitment from the team highlight the importance of Dugger to the Patriots' rebuilding efforts.
