FOXBOROUGH — With cutdown set for Tuesday at 4 p.m., let’s project the 53-man roster after three preseason games and a summer of training camp practices . . .

"While Dugger thrived in New England and eventually earned a 4-year, $58M contract extension, the new staff appears to view him differently." The post Rapoport: Patriots are ‘shopping’ Kyle Dugger ahead of roster cutdown day appeared first on Boston.

The search for a trade partner comes just one year into a sizable contract extension Dugger signed with the Patriots last offseason. He has three years remaining on the four-year, $58 million deal, which he earned after he cemented himself as a regular in the New England starting lineup over five seasons.
