2023 Fantasy Outlook
Uzomah's set to reprise his role as the No. 2 tight end for the Jets, who are also returning Tyler Conklin and 2022 third-round pick Jeremy Ruckert. New York frequently used formations with two tight ends in 2022, but Uzomah topped 60 percent of offensive snaps only six times, while Conklin exceeded 70 percent 14 times. Conklin also racked up 552 yards to Uzomah's 232. Ruckert could push for more playing time in 2023, but the 6-6, 260-pound Uzomah is the largest of the three tight ends and the best blocker, so perhaps he can carve out a role as a red-zone weapon for Aaron Rodgers in New York's new-look offense.

Restructures contract for 2023
Uzomah and the Jets agreed Wednesday to a restructure of his contract that converts $4.5 million of his salary for 2023 into a signing bonus, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Uzomah's contract adjustment clears $3.6 million in cap space for the Jets, while it also makes it more difficult for New York to move on from the 30-year-old after this season considering that he's in line to account for more than $12.5 million against the cap in 2024, per Bridget Hyland of The Newark Star-Ledger. Uzomah, who tallied 21 receptions for 232 yards and two touchdowns across 15 games played in 2022, is once again slated to compete for snaps this year with fellow tight end Tyler Conklin.

2015
Uzomah parlayed a career year in 2021 with Cincinnati into a three-year, $24 million deal with
the Jets in free agency. He notched career highs in catches (49), receiving yards (493) and
touchdowns (five) last season, needing just 63 targets to reach those totals thanks to a 77.8
percent catch rate. While he was overshadowed by Cincinnati’s wide receivers, Uzomah
provided a dependable target underneath for second-year QB Joe Burrow and should do the
same for another second-year signal-caller this season in Zach Wilson. Wilson looked
significantly more raw than Burrow last year, which made getting him a security blanket at tight
end an offseason priority for the Jets. The problem for Uzomah is that New York double-dipped
at the position in free agency and also signed ex-Viking Tyler Conklin, who had more catches
and yards last year than Uzomah. Both tight ends should see extensive playing time, but
Uzomah got a slightly larger contract and has shown more ability to do damage down the seam
in addition to catching short throws.
