Every NFL team’s free-agent signing with the most upside - PFF
Philadelphia Eagles: EDGE Josh Uche. Contract: One year, $1.92 million Leave it to the Eagles to acquire a defensive lineman with star power for pennies on the dollar. In 2022, Uche established himself as one of the league’s most promising edge rushers after racking up 56 quarterback pressures (tied for 20th), including 12 sacks (tied for 12th). A less productive 2023 campaign and a slow start to 2024 facilitated Uche’s exit, via a trade to the Chiefs before last season’s deadline. While the former second-rounder has been in something of a rut, the Eagles will put him in a position to succeed, as they often do with their young defensive linemen.
Best- and worst-case scenarios for Eagles’ additions in free agency - NBCSP
OLB Josh Uche. The second-round pick from the 2020 draft signed a one-year deal with the Eagles. Uche, 26, played the first 4 1/2 years of his career with the Patriots before getting traded to the Chiefs in 2024 before the deadline. Best case: Like Ojulari, Uche helps bolster that edge rusher group with Smith and Hunt leading the way. He provides the type of depth the Eagles need, especially if Bryce Huff either gets traded or if he continues to struggle to find his footing in Vic Fangio’s defense. It’s unfair to think that Uche will be a starter or that he’ll duplicate his 11.5-sack season in 2022 but his ceiling could be as a veteran depth piece who picks up a few sacks and provides good snaps off the bench. Worst case: The Chiefs were on to something when they didn’t play him almost at all in the second-half of the 2024 season. He follows in the footsteps of Julian Okwara and Terrell Lewis as veteran edge rushers who fail to make the team and in a year you forget that he was even here.

Lamm, who turns 33 in June, originally entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2015. Since then, he’s logged 45 starts in 127 career games played (including playoffs) for the combination of the Houston Texans, Cleveland Browns, Tennessee Titans, and Miami Dolphins. Lamm most recently made seven starts for the Dolphins in 2024. He ranked 33rd out of 85 offensive tackles graded by Pro Football Focus last season. Over the course of his career, he’s often graded out better as a pass protector than a run blocker.

According to the player himself, his 2024 season with the Miami Dolphins was going to be his last before riding off into the sunset and retiring. Well, some plans are meant to be changed.
