The New York Jets made a statement at the tight end position this offseason, signing not one but two starter-level players. Longtime Cincinnati Bengals locker-room leader C.J. Uzomah inked a three-year, $24 million deal, while Minnesota Vikings breakout star Tyler Conklin agreed to a three-year, $20.3 million deal.
With the two players earning similar salaries, it’s up for debate as to who will end up being the team’s “No. 1” tight end – or if they will even have one at all.
The Jets run a lot of 12 personnel packages, which feature two tight ends on the field, so both players will get plenty of snaps.
