The NFL’s regular season is over, which for the majority of teams means it’s time to start figuring out plans for the offseason.
Free agency in the NFL is a big part of the process, and it has got everyone gearing up for what should be a very busy couple of months along with the nfl draft.
We’ve officially assembled our own free agent contract estimates for the NFL’s top players, which include the likelihood of a franchise tag, the forecast itself, and the first-year cap hit for a team that’s “all-in” and needs to minimize the first-year hit in order to maximize their cap dollars.
Let’s take a look at josh Uche, a new england patriots pass rusher, who was never able to play in bill Belicheck’s multiple defense. With 373 snaps, he reached his high-water mark in 2022. But when given the opportunity to pin his ears back and chase the passerby, he is an extremely valuable and quick rusher.
In the last two years, he has 93 pressures on 512 pass rush snaps, an average of 18.2%. Uche is undersized but extremely athletic, so there is a world where he can be a three-down player for a team that is able to use him in a variety of ways.
He has the ability to be a second piece to a well-known #1 edge rusher. be sure to check back in and around the site for more details as we will post them in the coming days and weeks.
