The Kansas City Chiefs made several moves last season to inject extra talent into the team, with some working out while others didn’t find their groove in the system.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Philadelphia Eagles are signing pass rusher Joshua Uche to a one-year deal after a short tenure in Kansas City. Uche joins the team that defeated the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, which needs EDGE rushers following the departures of Josh Sweat and Brandon Graham.
Uche was traded to the Chiefs before the deadline last season with high expectations in defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo’s game plan. The 26-year-old has had two sacks in six games last season with the rebuilding Patriots and 20.5 sacks in his career. He only played in six games with Kansas City, recording ten combined tackles (7 solo) and no sacks, and was inactive for several games.
The former Michigan Wolverines standout has floated between playing on the defensive line and at linebacker during his brief time with the Chiefs. He could see a more solidified role in Philadelphia next season.
