"Despite a down '23, he seemed sure to bounce back under a new coaching staff in 2024. In the end, Uche would notch just two sacks for the Patriots in the 2024 season before being traded to the Chiefs for a sixth-round pick at the end of October. He would play six games and not record a sack. In the offseason, Uche signed a one-year deal with the Eagles."
"Josh Uche has thrived in the Eagles' system. The 2-0 Birds have allowed 18,5 PPG through their first two matchups, and he has thrived for the unit in limited snaps. Although he has not recorded a sack yet this season, he is PFF's highest-graded edge defender by overall grade, and has the fifth highest pass rush grade at 90.4."
"The team found K'Lavon Chaisson as a young but experienced speed rusher to fill the role Uche previously occupied, and Harold Landry was the proven veteran signing. No doubt, each is playing well for the team with the most sacks in football, but with Keion White dealing with an illness, their depth is thinner than one might like. Undrafted rookie Elijah Ponder and end of the roster man Cory Durden got extended snaps against Miami in White's absence."
Josh Uche signed a one-year, $5 million deal with the Patriots after a 2022 season that produced 11.5 sacks. He managed just two sacks in 2024, was traded to the Chiefs where he played six games without a sack, and then signed a one-year deal with the Eagles. Early in 2025, Uche has graded as PFF's highest-rated edge defender overall and ranks fifth in pass rush grade, while also posting a top-ten run defense grade for his position. The Patriots added K'Lavon Chaisson and Harold Landry but face depth concerns with Keion White ill, making Uche's early Eagles success notable.
