BREAKING: Former Chiefs Cut by Eagles After Coming Out GAY👇

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — The Philadelphia Eagles have released linebacker Joshua Uche, sources told ESPN, just months after he publicly came out as gay. The former Kansas City Chiefs pass rusher, signed in March 2025, lasted three months with the team.

Uche, 26, announced on X, “I’m proud to be gay and love who I love.” His June 2025 Pride Month post garnered widespread support but also faced some backlash.

Signed for $1.92 million, Uche struggled, recording only 10 tackles in limited playing time. His 2022 career-high of 11.5 sacks didn’t translate to Philadelphia’s defensive scheme.

The move sparked heated reactions on X. “Cutting Uche after he came out? Shady,” tweeted @PhillyFanHQ. Others, like @NFLInsider, emphasized his low production as the primary reason.

Uche and Boyfriend

Uche, traded to the Chiefs in 2024, was inactive for Super Bowl LIX. His brief stint in Kansas City yielded no sacks, mirroring his struggles with the Eagles.

Eagles GM Howie Roseman cited roster needs, avoiding mention of Uche’s announcement. The team now relies on Nolan Smith and Jalyx Hunt for edge-rushing roles.

Fans on X, such as @NFLPride, supported Uche: “His talent deserves another shot.” With 20.5 career sacks, he remains a strong candidate for a free agency comeback.

Uche is now seeking a new team following his Pride Month revelation. His courage and skill keep fans optimistic about his NFL return, with attention on his next chapter.
