The Facts: Uzomah intends to sign a three-year, $24 million deal with the New York Jets, according to multiple reports.

Diehards Line: Uzomah is coming off a season where he set career highs in catches (49), receptions (493) and touchdowns (five). Although he’s widely regarded as a safety valve, he has shown some ability to be a vertical or big play threat as four of those touchdowns came from outside the red zone. He also had by far his best year in terms of creating yards after the catch. As USA Today pointed out, he should in theory be a good scheme fit in New York. Uzomah offers value as a blocker, both in the running game and pass protection. He’s also -- unlike some of the tight ends hitting the market --- primarily lined up in-line rather than out wide or in the slot. He can contribute when split out wide or from the slot when needed though. The Jets tend to use their tight ends on special teams, primarily to block on the return units, and Uzomah has experience of doing this, although he’s played less on special teams in recent years as his offensive role increased. He was previously also productive in kick coverage. ... Worth noting: NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports the Jets still could add another tight end. They’ve been working on multiple options in that market today. ... Stay tuned.
