Uzomah has spent all seven seasons of his professional career with the Bengals and is coming off a career year. The former Auburn Tiger had a career-best 493 receiving yards and 49 receptions in 2021, starting 16 games for Cincinnati en route to Super Bowl LVI.
Uzomah joins a passing attack that averaged 208.3 yards per game last season, good enough for 20th in the league.
The Jets have their work cut out for them in the AFC East, currently sitting with the worst odds to win the division at +1700. We’ll also find them at the bottom of the Super Bowl market priced as +15000 longshots, the second-worst odds in the league.
