If Tomlinson can seamlessly make the switch from left to right guard, he will be worth his deal, the priciest given out by the Jets this month. Tomlinson is durable and has been a consistently top-notch run blocker. He also earned a career-high 75.2 pass-blocking grade fromTomlinson’s transition should be helped by the fact that offensive line coach and run game coordinator John Benton held the latter position with the 49ers.
The book on Reed, according to Pro Football Focus, is that he is more used to zone than man-to-man coverage, which fits the Jets’ defense well. He also is good in run support. Reed told Jets’ reporters he felt “disrespected” by Seattle’s offer, whatever it was. The contract carries $3.155 million in dead money if he is cut in 2024.Uzomah projects as a No. 1 tight end in the Jets’ offense after averaging just under 40 receptions for the Bengals in 2018, 2019 and 2021.
Whitehead projects as a box-type safety, but also figures to be a good fit in the Jets’ defense. He has 25 career passes defensed, 22 tackles for loss and five interceptions.Conklin had a career year in 2021 with 61 receptions for a Vikings team in desperate need of a tight end to step up. He did well for himself with this deal, considering he totaled 32 catches before last season. The contract carries $1.688 million in dead money if he is cut in 2024.
Conklin could compete with Ryan Griffin for the No. 2 tight end slot, although based on this salary, Conklin may have that job locked up already. Griffin could be a cap casualty. The Jets would save just over $3 million by cutting Griffin.Think of Martin as someone in the Carl Lawson mold, although less expensive. The Jets are hoping that his measurables eventually will lead to sacks, even though the raw production has not been there yet.
