Returning to New England
Uche has agreed to terms on a one-year deal with the Patriots, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Uche reportedly had bigger offers elsewhere, but he opted to return to Foxborough for less. The 2020 second-round pick has played four seasons with the Pats and was both a depth defender and special teams contributor last season. He currently projects to start opposite Matthew Judon (biceps) at outside linebacker in 2024.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Expresses desire to stay in NE
Uche said Tuesday that he turned down significantly more money to stay in New England, noting that he felt "destined to be a Patriot...I don't want to be anywhere else," Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Uche reportedly turned down a two-year, $15 million contract with $11 million guaranteed from another team to stay with the Patriots on a one-year deal with $3 million guaranteed. He said people were "calling him crazy" for leaving such money on the table, but the edge rusher said being in New England was a "dream that I wanted to fulfill." Uche struggled in 2023 after Matthew Judon suffered a season-ending biceps injury in Week 4 against the Cowboys, and the former finished the season with 15 tackles, including 3.0 sacks, over 15 games. Uche registered career highs in 2022 with 27 tackles, including 11.5 sacks, along with two forced fumbles.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
In his third season as a pro, Uche really hit his stride as a pass rusher, racking up 11.5 sacks in 15 games. While the 2020 second-rounder recorded just 27 tackles overall, his ability to get to the QB boosted his profile in New England's defense. In 2023, the 24-year-old again will remain a key pass-rushing cog for the team along with Matthew Judon and Deatrich Wise, among others.
