New York Jets sign TE C.J. Uzomah

NFL Offseason - The New York Jets have found a much-needed security blanket for Zach Wilson, siging former Cincinnati Bengals tight end C.J. Uzomah for three years and $24 million.

A fifth-round draft choice out of Auburn in 2015, Uzomah was a late bloomer in the NFL. He totaled barely a thousand yards receiving in his first six seasons, and missed 14 games in 2020 due to a torn Achilles. But he set new career highs with 49 catches, 493 yards, and five touchdowns in the regular season in 2021, then added 13 catches for 135 more yards and a score in Cincinnati's first two playoff games before a knee injury knocked him out of the AFC Championship Game and limited him in the Super Bowl.
