Pass-rusher Josh Uche has agreed to a contract to return to the New England Patriots, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Tuesday.

The 2020 second-round draft choice out of Michigan had suitors at last season's trade deadline before ultimately staying in New England. He had a career year in 2022 with 11.5 sacks but was limited to just three sacks in 2023.

Listed at 6-foot-3 and 240 pounds, Uche, 25, appeared in 15 regular-season games last season and averaged 22 defensive snaps in those contests, reflecting how he would usually play in obvious passing situations.
