The New England Patriots and star safety Kyle Dugger have agreed to terms on a four-year contract extension, multiple media outlets reported Sunday.

Per reports, Dugger will receive a base value of $58 million for the contract, and the deal could be worth up to $66 million. It includes $32.5 million in guarantees.

Dugger, 28, received the transition tag from the Patriots last month. The tag allowed the Patriots to match any offer from another team.

Dugger recorded a career-best 109 tackles to go with two interceptions and 1.5 sacks in 17 games (all starts).

He has totaled 343 tackles, nine interceptions and 2.5 sacks in 61 career games (52 starts) since being selected by New England in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
