Philadelphia Eagles Sign Linebacker Josh Uche to One-Year Deal

The Eagles bolster their defensive line with the addition of Uche following key free agency losses, aiming to tap into his past pass-rushing potential.

Josh Uche, a former Chiefs and Patriots linebacker, has signed a one-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Eagles are addressing defensive gaps after losing key players like Josh Sweat and Milton Williams in free agency.
Uche had a breakout season in 2022 with 11.5 sacks but struggled to maintain consistency in subsequent years.
He played a limited role with the Chiefs in 2024 after being traded midseason, recording minimal impact in six appearances.
The Eagles see Uche as a low-risk, high-reward addition to their rotation, hoping he can regain his 2022 form alongside young talents like Nolan Smith Jr. and Jalen Carter.
