The 26-year-old showed he could get after the quarterback when playing opposite of Matthew Judon in 2022 as Uche tallied a career-high 11.5 sacks.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nesn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/10\/Tyquan-Thornton-Drake-Maye.jpg?w=480&amp;h=270&amp;crop=1\" alt=\"NFL Rumors: Patriots Veteran Defender 'Floating' On Trade Market\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But when Judon missed most of 2023 with an injury and was shipped out of New England prior to this season, Uche\u2019s production plummeted. He registered three sacks all of last season and has come up with two sacks through seven games in 2024. He\u2019s mainly a situational player, too, only seeing the field for 35% of New England\u2019s defensive snaps this season.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>That might not deter a team team with Super Bowl aspirations like the Detroit Lions from trying to land Uche, especially after star lineman Aidan Hutchinson suffered a horrific leg injury.<\/p>\n<p>Parting ways with Uche, who New England drafted in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, in all likelihood would net the Patriots additional draft capital for a player who will be a free agent following this season. New England will have to make a decision about dealing Uche by the Nov. 5 trade deadline.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NFL Media&#8217;s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported the trade market for this Patriots veteran defender is starting to heat up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":205,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-204","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-england-patriots"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>NFL RUMORS: Patriots Veteran Defender &#039;Floating&#039;
