FOXBORO, Mass. — If Kyle Dugger replicates or exceeds the kind of season he enjoyed in 2022, he’s going to make a ton of money in free agency next March. Or he could sign a rich extension with the Patriots before ever hitting the open market.
Either way, the 27-year-old safety is on the verge of landing a life-changing contract. He’d only be human if he were starting to feel some added pressure.
But Dugger, among the more consistently laid-back players on New England’s roster, insists he’s only worried about playing good football for the Patriots.
