Chiefs Acquire Josh Uche from Patriots for 2026 Draft Pick

Kansas City Chiefs bolster their defense by trading for pass rusher Josh Uche from the New England Patriots.

  • The Kansas City Chiefs traded a 2026 sixth-round pick to the New England Patriots for outside linebacker Josh Uche.
  • Uche, 26, was a healthy scratch in the Patriots' recent game against the New York Jets, signaling his availability for trade.
  • The Chiefs, currently undefeated, aim to enhance their pass rush, which ranks low in sack rate despite a strong defensive lineup.
  • Former Patriots coach Bill Belichick expressed that New England should have secured more value from the trade.
  • Uche, known for his speed and agility, recorded a career-high 11.5 sacks in 2022 and is expected to add depth to Kansas City's defensive roster.
