Josh Uche reportedly turned down a serious raise to stay in New England.

The Patriots edge rusher agreed to a one-year contract with the Patriots earlier this week worth $3 million with incentives that max out at $8 million, per Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer. According to The Athletic's Jeff Howe, Uche had a two-year, $15 million offer with $11 million guaranteed on the table from another team, but turned it down to accept New England's much smaller deal.
