Longtime Bengals tight end C.J. Uzomah had the most productive season of his career in 2021 when he connected with Joe Burrow for 49 receptions, 493 yards and five scores, all of which were career highs. The Bengals opted to not re-sign Uzomah, however, and the tight end now finds himself in New York with the Jets, helping to bring some veteran experience to an otherwise extremely young and inexperienced group of offensive playmakers.
Uzomah was not the only tight end that the Jets brought in, however, as they also signed former Vikings tight end Tyler Conklin to a deal. Conklin signed a three-year, $20.25 million contract with $10 million guaranteed, which is a little less than what Uzomah got at three years, $24 million with $15 million in guarantees. This discrepancy isn't significant in the grand scheme of things so we shouldn't be completely certain that Uzomah is going to be the top tight end on the roster, but teams typically give us some pretty good insights into their thinking when they make financial decisions like these.
Realistically, this is probably going to be a committee approach at the tight end position which isn't going to give us much fantasy value. Sure, Uzomah might see more targets this year, but what's that going to give us? 40 catches? This is a situation to avoid in a bad offense with better, younger pass catching weapons out wide.
