## 2026 Outlook

Josh Uche signed a one-year, $1.4M contract with the Dolphins in March 2026 as part of Miami's defensive rebuild on the cheap. He carries a 2026 cap hit of just $1.3M. Uche has an early lead for the starting edge rusher position opposite Chop Robinson, but will have to earn the spot throughout the summer. Growing up in South Florida, he studied film of former Dolphins edge rusher Cameron Wake and may bring that first-step bend to Miami's pass rush (per Dolphins 90 in 90: Josh Uche adds to Miami pass rush).

## Role / Depth Chart

Likely starter opposite Chop Robinson at edge rusher for the Dolphins, though he'll need to win the position during training camp. In 2025 with the Eagles, he was a rotational pass rusher until limited to special teams later in the season.
