The Patriots traded defensive end Keion White to the 49ers and safety Kyle Dugger to the Steelers on Tuesday night, with each deal swapping a 2026 sixth-round pick for a 2026 seventh, sources told ESPN. New England will cover part of Dugger’s remaining $9.75 million. San Francisco adds White amid injuries and a struggling pass rush. Pittsburgh turns to Dugger after DeShon Elliott’s knee hyperextension, as Mike Tomlin emphasized Elliott’s role in communication, tight end coverage, and run defense.
