The Philadelphia Eagles have been busy since the end of the preseason. They've made three trades over the last 48 hours, most notably acquiring quarterback Sam Howell from the Minnesota Vikings. And while they've made multiple moves, there is one more they could make to improve their secondary.
The New England Patriots are reportedly shopping safety Kyle Dugger, per Ian Rapoport.
"The Patriots are shopping safety Kyle Dugger, sources say, their starter the last five seasons," Rapoport reports. "While Dugger thrived in New England and eventually earned a 4-year, $58M contract extension, the new staff appears to view him differently. He’s played deep into preseason games."
Flash back to the beginning of the new league year when the Eagles traded C.J. Gardner-Johnson to the Houston Texans in exchange for Kenyon Green and a Day Three draft pick. The Eagles have since waived Green, and still need a proven safety opposite Reed Blankenship. Philadelphia could send a fourth-round pick to New England for Dugger, who would slot in as a starter on their defense.
Dugger is coming off a year in which he had 81 tackles in 13 games. He has nine career interceptions.
