Jets releasing tight end C.J. Uzomah, AP source says. Move will save New York $5.3 million

Associated Press  

The New York Jets plan to release veteran tight end C.J. The move, which was expected, will save the Jets about $5.3 million on their salary cap heading into the start of the NFL’s free agency period next week. Uzomah signed a three-year, $24 million contract with the Jets in 2022 and finished with just 29 catches for 290 yards and three touchdowns in 27 games over two seasons in New York. New York still has Conklin, who tied a career high with 61 catches to finish third on the team, and Jeremy Ruckert at the tight end spot, along with Kenny Yeboah and Zack Kuntz.
