ESPN insider Adam Schefter reported the move on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"Former Eagles edge Joshua Uche is signing a one-year deal with the Dolphins, per agents Drew Rosenhaus and Kyle Lincoln," Schefter wrote.
Uche, 27, arrives in Miami after spending the 2025 season with the Philadelphia Eagles . In 12 games last season, he recorded 23 total tackles, including 14 solo tackles and a career-high nine assists. He added one sack, one pass defended and a career-high 2.5 tackles for loss.
The veteran pass rusher's most productive season came during the 2022 campaign with the New England Patriots . That year, Uche totaled 27 tackles, including 23 solo stops, while recording 11.5 sacks and two forced fumbles across 15 games. The performance marked a breakout season and established him as one of New England's most effective pass rushers.

Uche's addition is the latest move in a busy offseason for Miami as the franchise continues reshaping its roster ahead of the 2026 season. The Dolphins recently signed quarterback Malik Willis to a three-year, $67.3 million contract with $45 million guaranteed while releasing former starter Tua Tagovailoa .
Miami also traded star safety Minkah Fitzpatrick to the New York Jets in exchange for a seventh-round pick in the upcoming draft. On special teams, the team signed veteran kicker Zane Gonzalez to a one-year deal as the organization prepares to move on from longtime kicker Jason Sanders .

The Dolphins also reshaped their coaching structure earlier this offseason by hiring Jeff Hafley as head coach and Jon-Eric Sullivan as general manager.
With those changes in place, Miami has continued adding experienced veterans who could contribute immediately. Uche's pass-rushing upside gives the Dolphins another rotational option along the edge as they continue building their defensive front for the 2026 season.
