In other words, while Evan is giving lip service to Dugger's versatility, he's really saying that Dugger's not all that versatile, and that he's an "in the box" safety/LB sort of limited hybrid.
Both McKinney and Dugger are massive overpays. Zero Pro Bowls or All Pro's between them, yet the crack the top 6 in salaries. NFL teams valuation process is very bizarre.
Gotta get to that cap floor somehow.But overpaying for Dugger helps insulate Kraft from the "Too cheap" blowback deserved for not landing Ridley, and at a savings a/k/a positional cost difference of about $8 million per year.
