The Cincinnati Bengals will be looking for a new pass-catching tight end as C.J. Uzomah is headed to play for the New York Jets.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Monday afternoon the Jets are giving Uzomah a three-year deal worth $24 million.
Uzomah played seven seasons in Cincinnati and is widely respected for his leadership and toughness. The 6-foot-6, 260-pound tight end is coming off a career year after missing the 2020 season with an Achilles injury that ended his season two weeks into the season.
