New England Patriots Trade Safety, Defensive End for 2026 Draft Picks, ESPN's Adam Schefter Reports
- On Tuesday night the New England Patriots traded defensive end Keion White to the San Francisco 49ers and safety Kyle Dugger to the Pittsburgh Steelers, with each swap involving a 2026 sixth-round pick for a 2026 seventh-round pick, sources told ESPN.
- Facing multiple injuries, the San Francisco 49ers lost star edge rusher Nick Bosa for the season and have Bryce Huff, Yetur Gross-Matos sidelined with hamstring injuries plus Sam Okuayinonu with an ankle issue.
- White, a 2023 second-round pick, was a healthy scratch on Sunday and played just 26% of defensive snaps this season with six tackles and one pressure, providing positional versatility despite limited recent production.
- The Steelers added Dugger largely to replace starting strong safety DeShon Elliott after Elliott hyperextended his knee on Sunday, acquiring Kyle Dugger for a sixth-round pick and a seventh-round pick.
- With 21.3% pressure percentage, the San Francisco 49ers rank last and 25th in pass-rush win rate at 33.8%, and may seek more defensive-line help despite Bryce Huff and Yetur Gross-Matos returning soon.
