With the Patriots set up to operate as sellers in 2024, the fifth-year edge rusher is again a candidate to be dealt.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.profootballrumors.com\/files\/2024\/07\/USATSI_19635678-scaled.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>New England reportedly came\u00a0very close to working out a trade agreement\u00a0in Uche\u2019s case last October. He wound up remaining with the team, though, playing out the rest of his rookie contract. The 26-year-old (like many other Patriots, especially on defense) would up staying in place this offseason by signing a\u00a0one-year deal. As a pending free agent for the second straight year, he would again represent a low-cost pickup for a contending team.<\/p>\n<p>To little surprise, then,\u00a0Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network report\u00a0Uche\u2019s name is \u201cfloating around the trade market.\u201d The former second-rounder is attached to a base salary of only $1.3MM, and any acquiring team would take on a prorated portion of that figure. Especially as a rental at that financial cost, Uche could be an attractive target to any number of suitors. Expectations would likely be tempered in terms of role and production in the event of a deal, though.<\/p>\n<p>Uche\u2019s snap shares have ranged between 30-38% during his career. Never known for his run defense, the Michigan product flashed potential as sack artist in 2022 with a career-high 11.5 in that department. The following season resulted in only three sacks, however, and Uche has managed a pair so far this year. With the Patriots sitting at 1-6, they could be inclined to take a late-round pick as a means of giving him a fresh start on a team willing to add him as a rotational depth piece. Interestingly, Uche\u00a0changed agents\u00a0this summer, so being dealt to a new team could alter the nature of talks on a contract keeping him in place beyond 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The receiver position has become a talking point recently in New England, and veteran\u00a0<strong>Kendrick Bourne\u00a0<\/strong>has been added to the list of potential trade candidates. A move returning him to San Francisco in particular would be sensible, but the 29-year-old said earlier this week he\u00a0prefers to remain with the Patriots. Younger members of the WR room have expressed frustration with their situations, though, and that includes\u00a0<strong>K.J. Osborn<\/strong>. The free agent addition has\u00a0seen his playing time drop\u00a0since the start of the season, something which is no doubt not sitting well.<\/p>\n<p>Osborn, 27, posted consistent secondary production from 2021-23 with the Vikings. He only managed a one-year deal worth $4MM on the open market, and that pact includes a base salary of just $1.18MM. The NFL Network piece notes Osborn is thus a likelier trade candidate than Bourne as teams continue to sort out a wideout market no longer featuring\u00a0<strong>Davante Adams,\u00a0Amari Cooper\u00a0<\/strong>or\u00a0<strong>DeAndre Hopkins<\/strong>. It will be interesting to see how first-year general manager\u00a0<strong>Eliot Wolf\u00a0<\/strong>and rookie head coach\u00a0<strong>Jerod Mayo\u00a0<\/strong>handle the Patriots\u2019 trade chips in advance of the November 5 deadline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One year ago,\u00a0Josh Uche\u00a0was the subject of considerable trade interest.
