Chiefs

Former Patriots LB Josh Uche has been traded to the Chiefs and reflected on his time there during a recent session with reporters.

“Being in New England for five years, obviously I didn’t have the results or the outcomes I wanted,” Uche said, via Mike Reiss of ESPN. “I went back to New England [in 2024 because] I love the coaches and everyone there. I was doing my best to help keep the ship afloat. When I heard I was getting traded, I was excited. I feel like this scheme, this team, this organization is definitely going to help me maximize my potential.”
