The contract also includes $32.5 million guaranteed, Rapoport says.
The Patriots gave Dugger the rare transition tag last month, which would have been worth $13.8 million for the 2024 season. The transition tag, given to only five NFL players in the last 10 years, is worth the average salary of the top 10 players at the position.
Dugger had over 100 tackles, 1.5 sacks and two interceptions last season for the Patriots. The 2020 second-round draft pick has as 343 tackles and nine INTs in his career.
