The trade involved a late-round pick swap with the Steelers sending a sixth-round pick and getting a seventh-round pick back in return.
This trade comes on the heels of S DeShon Elliott injuring his knee in Week 8. The Steelers were running thin on talent in their safety room, and now they upgrade it with a veteran in his sixth season.
Dugger was drafted in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft to the Patriots and started 69 games for them over the last six seasons.
