Patriots' starter could be cut loose much sooner than anyone imagined
Briefly

Head coach Mike Vrabel has created a competitive atmosphere at Patriots training camp, mixing young and veteran players. The safety position is notably competitive, featuring starters Jabrill Peppers and Kyle Dugger, along with new additions Marcus Epps and rookie Craig Woodson. Analyst Greg Bedard speculates that Kyle Dugger may face cuts despite a $58 million extension due to underperformance. He highlights Dugger's inconsistency and struggles, suggesting the team's previous actions indicate he may no longer fit in their plans, especially after a transition tag was placed on him last offseason.
Kyle Dugger's performance has placed him in jeopardy of being cut by the Patriots, as he has consistently shown the same issues that have hampered his play despite recent contract extensions.
Greg Bedard points out the competition at safety is fierce for the Patriots, with multiple players vying for a limited number of spots, creating a pressure cooker environment.
