The Jets have secured a security blanket for second-year QB Zach Wilson.
New York is signing former Bengals tight end CJ Uzomah to a three-year deal worth $24 million, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.
Uzomah enjoyed a career year in 2021, three years after emerging as a full-time starter. The 29-year-old served as a go-target for NFL Comeback Player of the Year Joe Burrow after pulling off a significant comeback of his own.
After missing all but two games in 2020 due to a torn Achilles, Uzomah recorded career highs across the board: 49 receptions for 493 yards and five touchdowns in 16 starts.
