Uzomah, 31, is a former fifth-round pick of the Bengals back in the 2015 draft out of Auburn. He played out the final year of his four-year rookie contract before agreeing to a three-year, $18 million deal with the Bengals in 2019.
Uzomah was testing the open market as an unrestricted free agent when he signed a three-year, $24 million deal with the Jets.
The Jets restructured Uzomah’s deal last March to clear $3.6 million in cap space. New York cut him loose this offseason.
In 2023, Uzomah appeared in 12 games for the Jets and caught eight passes for 58 yards and a touchdown.
