The Bengals continue to make moves in the secondary. Not long after signing cornerback Ja’Sir Taylor, a safety addition has been lined up.
Cincinnati has agreed to terms on a one-year deal with Kyle Dugger, per agent Drew Rosenhaus (h/t ESPN’s Adam Schefter). This will set up a third stint with an AFC team for Dugger. The veteran has previously spent his career with the Patriots and Steelers.
Dugger’s first five years in the NFL saw him operate as a defensive mainstay in New England. His role was a talking point leading up to the 2025 season – the first with head coach Mike Vrabel in place – however. No trade agreement was found during the summer, but it did not take long for the Patriots to line up a swap during the year. In advance of the 2025 trade deadline, Dugger was traded to the Steelers.
More to come…
