When it comes to his former organization, however, Belichick doesn\u2019t think the Patriots received enough in return.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, the Patriots\u00a0traded Uche for the Chiefs\u00a0for a 2026 sixth-round pick. When the deal was first announced, Belichick, appearing on \u2018The Pat McAfee Show,\u2019 assumed the Patriots acquired a 2025 sixth-rounder<\/p>\n<p>d comp pick. When told that the Patriots only received a 2026 pick back, Belichick said it sounded like Eliot Wolf could\u2019ve received more for Uche last week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay, so a 2026 6th rounder, they take them this year. If they don\u2019t re-sign him, they\u2019ll probably get a sixth as a comp pick. So it washes out,\u201d\u00a0Belichick said. \u201cIf they do re-sign them, then that means they like the player, and the player can help them win. And so it\u2019s a great trade. So, I mean, I think it\u2019s a great trade for Kansas City.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt sounds like the Patriots probably could have got more for him last week, but&#8230; it sounds like it didn\u2019t work out. And then, Kansas City got (DeAndre) Hopkins, and so they had to change the trade around. I think it was a great move by Kansas City, they didn\u2019t really go up anything for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article__unordered-list\">\n<li><i><b>BETTING:<\/b><\/i><i> Check out our\u00a0MA sports betting guide, where you can learn basic terminology, definitions and how to read odds for those interested in learning how to bet in Massachusetts.<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"InContent_Center_Background\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"IHD3Y4H2CZEQVFTN3CEFRGKM4I\" class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\">Belichick\u2019s point about the comp picks makes sense for Kansas City. For the Patriots, who have ample cap space, it was unlikely they\u2019d receive a comp pick had Uche left in free agency. By trading him, it guarantees they\u2019ll receive something in return.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6RRGYZKXU5GHJJJTKE6SDCECRM\" class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\">Last week, the Chiefs acquired Hopkins in a deal with the Tennessee Titans where they traded a 2025 fifth-round pick that becomes a fourth-rounder if Kansas City reaches the Super Bowl and the receiver plays 60% of the snaps.<\/p>\n<p id=\"VJVWUUUBPREPNCHEQSEV22O77U\" class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\">Ironically, the\u00a0Patriots nearly traded Uche\u00a0last offseason around the NFL trade deadline when Belichick was in charge of the team\u2019s front office.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\">At the time, Belichick informed Uche the Patriots were talking to other teams about a trade. Ultimately, Belichick opted to keep Uche in Foxborough.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe conversation I had was a mutual thing where the organization wanted me here, and of course, I wanted to finish my career where I started,\u201d\u00a0Uche told MassLive last year after the trade deadline.<\/p>\n<p>Uche had a career year with Belichick and the Patriots in 2022 when he finished with 11.5 sacks playing opposite of Matthew Judon. In 2023, he finished with three sacks and then opted to take less money to return to the Patriots to play under Jerod Mayo.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Q2SXUQ2QXNANLGO625Y4XI3BTE\" class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\">Uche had two sacks in seven games and was a healthy scratch on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p id=\"BDM3JZOJN5CTPORL7BZB2YH5EE\" class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\">\u201cIf it was a \u201826 sixth then, honestly, then they didn\u2019t give up anything, in my mind,\u201d\u00a0Belichick said of the Uche trade. \u201cAnd then, if you like the player, re-sign him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\">Look Josh Uche is a really good rusher. He hasn\u2019t had a chance to rush much this year for the Patriots, because they\u2019ve been behind a lot. And, you know, the situation hasn\u2019t been good. But he had a big year two years ago now, he had Judon on the other side of him, so it was two good pass rushers.<\/p>\n<p id=\"AB7EYC6W4RAYNEZCQLYVIDU6F4\" class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\"><em>\u201cBut he\u2019ll have a lot of opportunities to rush in Kansas City. I think that he\u2019ll really help him. He\u2019s got surprising power for his size. He\u2019s got excellent quickness and a good get off, and he has some flexibility in coverage. I think it\u2019s a good addition for a team that needs another pass rusher, which everybody does. Josh can do that. He\u2019ll definitely help him.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For Kansas City,\u00a0Bill Belichick\u00a0was impressed with the acquisition of\u00a0Josh Uche.
