Agrees to terms with Philadelphia
Uzomah (knee) agreed to a one-year contract with the Eagles on Thursday, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
After spending the first nine years of his career with the Bengals and Jets, Uzomah has found a new home in Philadelphia. The nine-year veteran appeared in the Jets' first 12 games in 2023 before sustaining a season-ending MCL injury. In those contests, Uzomah tallied eight receptions for 58 yards and one touchdown. Once 31-year-old has recovered from his MCL issue, he's expected to compete for the Eagles' top backup tight end role behind Dallas Goedert.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Lands in Philly on one-year deal
Uzomah signed a one-year contract with the Eagles on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Uzomah never came close to living up to expectations with the Jets over the last two seasons after New York snapped him up following the veteran tight end's 49-catch, 493-yard, five-touchdown tally during the Bengals' 2021 campaign. Uzomah only produced a 29-290-3 receiving line over 17 games with Gang Green, and in Philadelphia, he may have a slightly bigger pass-catching role while serving as Dallas Goedert's primary backup.

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.
