Dugger, a five-year veteran with 65 career starts, has seen a role reduction under new defensive coordinator Terrell Williams. The Patriots just signed the 29-year-old safety to a four-year, $58MM extension last April, but this offseason’s regime change seems to have him on the outside of the roster bubble looking in.

Kyle Dugger's time with the Patriots may be coming to an end, and he's not the only defensive veteran the team is reportedly looking to move.
