Eagles Signing TE C.J. Uzomah To One-Year Deal

According to Ian Rapoport, the Eagles are expected to sign TE C.J. Uzomah to a one-year deal on Thursday. 

Rapoport writes that Uzomah passed his physical after flying to Philadelphia today. 

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.
