Chiefs acquire pass rusher Joshua Uche in trade with Patriots
Why it matters: The addition of Joshua Uche bolsters the Chiefs' already formidable defense and adds depth to their pass rush.
Uche joins a strong Chiefs defense that is currently ranked second in the NFL.
- The Chiefs have been actively making impactful trades, recently acquiring wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins from the Tennessee Titans.
What's new: The Kansas City Chiefs have acquired pass rusher Joshua Uche in a trade with the New England Patriots, confirmed by coach Andy Reid.
- In exchange, the Patriots received a 2026 sixth-round pick.
Yes, but: Uche was a healthy scratch in the Patriots' recent victory over the New York Jets due to trade interest, indicating the team's willingness to part ways with him.
What to watch: Uche has recorded two sacks in six games this season and has a total of 20.5 sacks in his career. His ability to disrupt opposing quarterbacks will be a valuable asset to the Chiefs' defense.
What's next: Uche will join a talented group of pass rushers in Kansas City and will look to make an immediate impact on the field.
The bottom line: The Chiefs continue to strengthen their roster with strategic trades, aiming to solidify their position as Super Bowl contenders. The addition of Joshua Uche enhances their defensive capabilities and provides depth in the pass rush.
