Player Signing Josh Uche back on 1 year deal

[203Pat]

I assume it's a prove it type deal

they were not kidding about burning money.

A bunch of 1 year deals just throwing money away on a gap year.

Apparently he turned down more money elsewhere... combined with it only being a 1 year deal, that seems to speak to the idea that he was sold on a bigger role with BB gone and the defensive scheme tweaked accordingly. That would make a 1 year deal potentially fruitful for him if he hits free agency next year off a bigger deal. We'll see if that materializes.

Show me 1-year contracts save 2025 cap money, not wasting it if the player doesn't show much.

I read two hours ago they hadn't made him an offer.

 

[holyredeemer]

Situational players that are always dinged up or nursing something don't get paid much in FA.

 

[Ivan]

I’m not sure how people think they are wasting money when we have no number for the deal. This draft is exceptionally weak at LB, so I have no problem bringing Uche back on a prove it deal.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Good idea, hopefully has a bounce back year with judon back and get paid next year

 

[patfanken]

I STILL want Hunter. Judon, Uche, Jennings, Hunter would be an AWESOME 4 deep edge rush group. Add a starting CB and you have the makings of a fine defense with some depth.

I will be interested in seeing what the money is. I'm guessing in the $6MM range with about half guaranteed.

BTW- Parker signed with the Eagles. They got decent results with Agular last season. Why not since we will be paying him all but the $1.2MM of his salary

Meh... wake me when we respond Jennings..

 

[Water Boy]

Wolf and company may have explored some other FA options prior to making Uche an offer. Maybe he turned down a low ball multiyear deal and wants to bet on himself next season. Surprised he didn't get more interest from teams in need of a pass rushing specialist.

 

[Water Boy]

Meh... wake me when we respond Jennings..

We desperately need his ability to set the edge.

Absolutely, Uche did a disappearing act last season after a great 2022 season. Surprised Jennings isn't re-signed by now

 

[Hugepatsfan]

1 year $3M base with another $5M in incentives seems like a good deal

 

[venecol]

Uche, Uche, Uche.

 

[JMC00]

Pretty sure he's the player that said he'd make it a priority to stay with Mayo as head coach.

 

[203Pat]

Lol we're mad about spending $3 million on a guy who has shown ability as a pass rusher in the past?

 

[Sicilian]

Bit surprised by this one, but not much money so worth seeing if he can regain some 2022 form with the new coaching staff. I echo those saying I hope Jennings is back too though.

 

[OldEngland]

Really like having Uche back. Actually wish it was a longer deal.

 

[PatsFan2]

Really thought Uche would have a market.
