Because Winters isnt good and cant play Sam linebacker.

Also Duggar might project to EDGE with that length and can be a chess piece that can play the Mike, Sam, and EDGE and get to the QB.

I believe this is the reason why Winters got traded..
I do like Duggar tho.. and we still have 45!!

Maybe they think he'll be better than Bethune, Robinson, Graham, and whoever else is at the end of the depth chart.

He was on a contract year and we received a 5th round pick for a player we picked in the 6th.
Hes fast but isn't good at wrapping up tackling so we saw his ceiling and glad we received something for him.
