Josh Uche not worried about contract entering final year of rookie deal

The New England Patriots have contractual decisions to make surrounding several key members of their team over the next few months. One of those players is pass rusher Josh Uche.

Around the league, pass rushers are paid at a premium. Most recently, Pittsburgh’s Alex Highsmith, who was selected 42 picks after Uche in 2020, was just inked to a four-year, $68 million contract. While Uche could be next in line for a similar pay day, he is choosing to keep his mind on the football field.

“I just let my agents handle that stuff. I’m not one who really likes to talk about or try to overthink things I can’t really control,” Uche told reporters on Thursday.
