In need of new depth along the edge, the Eagles will look to Josh Uche. The former Patriot and Chief has a one-year deal in place with Philadelphia, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports.

Uche flashed potential at times during his New England tenure. The former second-rounder recorded 11.5 sacks in 2022, but he was never able to carve out a anything more than a rotational role, instead operating as a third-down specialist. Uche regularly found himself attached to trade talk, and in 2024 a deal was made.

The Michigan product was dealt to Kansas City as a rental addition for the second half of the campaign. Uche wound up making six appearances with the Chiefs, but he saw a snap share of only 22%. After failing to record a sack and producing only one QB pressure, the team elected not to use him during the playoffs. Uche will now look to compete for a regular role with the Eagles.

To no surprise, Philadelphia was unable to retain Josh Sweat. The top edge rusher on the market landed a four-year deal with the Cardinals including $41MM in guarantees. His loss will be felt after a strong regular season in 2024 and a memorable performance in Super Bowl LIX. Brandon Graham, meanwhile, is dealing with another triceps tear as he contemplates retirement.
