It’s a 4-year deal worth a base value of $58M with a max of $66M, source says. He gets $32.5M guaranteed. A big-time payday. https://t.co/wdyfEOYDp8

According to Rapoport, the contract also includes a $32.5 million guarantee.
Last month, the Patriots awarded Dugger the unique transition tag, which came with a $13.8 million salary cap for the 2024 campaign. Just five NFL players have received the transition tag in the previous ten years, and it is worth the average pay of the top ten players at the position.
For the Patriots in the previous season, Dugger recorded over 100 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and two interceptions. In his career, the 2020 second-round draft pick has racked up 343 tackles and nine interceptions.
