The New England Patriots are making big moves to keep their defense strong! Star safety Kyle Dugger just signed a 4-year, $58 million contract extension—with the potential to earn up to $66 million 🚀. The deal includes $32 million guaranteed, ensuring Dugger stays in Foxborough through his prime years.
Dugger’s new salary averages $14.5 million annually, topping the $13.8 million he’d have earned under the team’s transition tag. Fun fact: He’s the only safety in a decade to avoid free agency after receiving the transition tag. 🛡️ Talk about loyalty!
His paycheck now lands him in the NFL’s top 10 highest-paid safeties, though Chargers’ Derwin James still holds the crown at $19 million per year. Who’s ready to see Dugger crush it this season? 💥
