The Patriots were thrilled to secure Dugger, deploying their transition tag tactic earlier this off-season.
This ensured they had the right to match any offers Dugger may have received from other teams.
However, that situation never arose as Dugger and the Patriots settled on a lucrative four-year contract.
Anthony Rapoport, a prominent NFL Network insider, reveals the financial details of this freshly inked deal.
Dugger’s contract with the Patriots comes with a base compensation of $58 million, and it could top out at $66 million.
A whopping $32.5 million is guaranteed. As a second-round pick in New England, Dugger has already impressed fans and sports analysts with his dynamic performance.
In the span of his professional football career, he has registered an impressive 343 tackles, 2.5 sacks, nine interceptions, two forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries.
