ESPN analyst Mina Kimes expressed surprise over the New England Patriots’ low-cost contract extension for pass rusher Josh Uche. Uche signed a one-year, $3 million deal despite reportedly turning down a more lucrative offer from another team. The Patriots’ motivation for the move was Uche’s loyalty to the organization, but Kimes believes they may have missed an opportunity to upgrade their offense. Despite the signing, the Patriots still have needs and may be looking to make a trade for a playmaker like the 49ers’ Brandon Aiyuk.
