The Philadelphia Eagles released veteran tight end C.J. Uzomah on Wednesday.
Uzomah, 31, spent the past two seasons with the New York Jets after seven years with the Cincinnati Bengals.
He caught eight passes for 58 yards and a touchdown in 12 games (eight starts) in 2023 for the Jets, who released him in March to clear $5.3 million of salary cap space, per Spotrac.
He signed a one-year, $1.37 million contract with the Eagles on April 11, with $795,000 guaranteed.
Uzomah has 192 receptions for 1,881 yards and 16 TDs in 106 games (82 starts) since the Bengals drafted him in the fifth round in 2015.
Philadelphia has tight ends Dallas Goedert, Grant Calcaterra and Albert Okwuegbunam Jr. on the roster.
The Eagles signed offensive lineman Jason Poe in a corresponding move. Poe, 26, was undrafted in 2022 and has not appeared in a regular season game. He spent time on the practice squads of the San Francisco 49ers and New York Jets the past two seasons.
