Kyle Dugger is one of the most important free agents the New England Patriots have to consider re-signing this offseason.
And it sounds like the Patriots have made an effort to bring him back.
MassLive's Mark Daniels and Karen Guregian reported Thursday that the Patriots "have had preliminary talks with Kyle Dugger, and have an offer on the table for the starting safety, according to a source."
Dugger was the team's second-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, and he's become an integral piece of their defense both with his on-field performance and leadership.
