Uchenna Nwosu Fantasy

Linebacker Uchenna Nwosu is set to sign a two-year, $20 million deal with the Seattle Seahawks, according to his agent Drew Rosenhaus. The contract includes $10.5 million guaranteed. Nwosu was a second round pick of the Los Angeles Chargers in 2018 and he spent each of his first four seasons with the Chargers before hitting free agency this offseason. He played in all 17 regular season games last year and he was second on the Chargers in sacks with five. He also had eight tackles for a loss and 40 total tackles. He'll help bolster a linebacking crew in Seattle that just lost veteran Bobby Wagner.

Los Angeles Chargers impending free-agent outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu was born and grew up in Los Angeles and played at USC in college. He wants to stay with his hometown team, and the Chargers would love to have him back, according to league sources not authorized to speak publicly. Nwosu will have plenty of options, though, as the Indianapolis Colts, Green Bay Packers, Buffalo Bills and New York Jets are expected to have interest in him, and he would ideally like a contract in the $10-13 million range at 25 years old. In 2021, he had a career-high five sacks, eight tackles for loss, 16 QB hits and one interception and received a career-high 15 starts while playing in all 17 games. And Nwosu did it all while battling through a labrum injury that was serious enough to potentially require offseason surgery.

Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Uchenna Nwosu (shoulder) is expected to miss around three weeks with a Grade 2 AC joint sprain in his shoulder after getting injured in the Week 11 win over the Jets. Nwosu will seek a second opinion but will be a candidate for Injured Reserve. A second-round pick out of USC in 2018, the 23-year-old has contributed 23 tackles (15 solo), eight QB hits, two passes defensed and 3.5 sacks in 10 games so far this season. The Chargers Defense will be a little bit short-handed in the middle of the field for at least the next three weeks. They'll be more of a back-end starting fantasy unit against a high-powered Bills offense coming off their bye in Week 12.
