Dolphins Agree to One-Year Deal With Edge Rusher Joshua Uche

The 27-year-old bolsters a cap-conscious defense undergoing a broader reset.

Overview

  • Agents Drew Rosenhaus and Kyle Lincoln told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that Uche has a one-year agreement with Miami during the legal tampering window, with terms undisclosed and finalization expected at the start of the 2026 league year.
  • Miami views Uche as rotational pass-rush help and a likely special-teams contributor who will compete for defensive snaps.
  • Uche’s peak production came with New England in 2022 when he posted 11.5 sacks, contributing to 21.5 career sacks across six seasons.
  • In 2025 with Philadelphia, he appeared in 12 games and recorded 23 tackles and one sack, earning a strong 85.1 Pro Football Focus grade despite limited late-season defensive snaps.
  • The addition comes as the Dolphins reshuffle their front seven under new leadership, with recent moves including parting with Bradley Chubb, who subsequently joined the Bills on a three-year deal.
