Free-agent safety Kyle Dugger is signing a one-year contract with the Cincinnati Bengals, according to his agent Drew Rosenhaus. The veteran defender joins the Bengals secondary following a four-year tenure with the New England Patriots.
Dugger, a former second-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, became a free agent this offseason. He has spent his entire professional career to date in New England, where he appeared in 61 games and recorded 343 total tackles. The move to Cincinnati marks his first time joining a new franchise since entering the league.
The agreement is for a single season, though the specific financial terms of the contract have not yet been disclosed. Dugger is expected to undergo a standard physical examination before the deal is officially finalized by the team. The addition comes as the Bengals continue to adjust their defensive roster during the current free agency period.
