The New England Patriots are having a busy Tuesday.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Patriots have traded defensive end Keion White to the San Francisco 49ers as part of a trade that involves a swap of late-round draft picks. White, who has six career sacks, was a second-round pick by the Patriots in the 2023 NFL Draft.
The Patriots will receive a 2026 sixth round pick in exchange for White and a 2026 seventh round pick.
Moments after news broke of the White trade, it was reported that the Patriots traded safety Kyle Dugger to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for a late-round pick swaps (similar to the deal with the 49ers).
They acquired a 2026 sixth-round pick from the Steelers, who received Dugger and a 2026 seventh-round pick, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. The Patriots will help cover part of Dugger’s remaining salary, which amounts to $9.75 million.
The Steelers were in the look for a safety following the injury to DeShon Elliott.
