C.J. Uzomah has turned himself into one of the more quality tight ends in the NFL during his time with the Cincinnati Bengals. Although he isn’t given many opportunities, he put up respectable numbers. He wrapped up his regular season with 49 receptions, 493 receiving yards, and five touchdowns.

Although Uzomah has enjoyed his role, there’s plenty of reason to believe that he could flourish in a new jersey. The Bengals are one of four teams remaining in the NFL postseason. So, with the chance to win a Lombardi within his grasp, Uzomah isn’t fixated on his pending free agency.

However, whether the Bengals are sent home in the AFC Championship Game or find themselves winning it all, Uzomah’s free agency plans are something that the franchise and their talented tight end will have to address.

Once the 29-year-old hits the open market, his phone will be ringing off the hook as team’s clamor for his services. Who will be the lucky squad to sign Uzomah? Let’s find out his best landing spots.
