TE Tyler Conklin received a nice payday from the Jets following his breakout season with the Vikings.
Conklin signed a three-year, $20.25 million deal with Gang Green. The pact guarantees him $10 million, per ESPN’s Rich Cimini. Conklin comes with cap charges of $3.4 million, $8.4 million and $8.4 million.
The Jets would incur a $7.3 million dead charge if they were to cut him after just one season.
Conklin is coming off a career year with the Vikings, the team that drafted him in the fifth round in 2018. The 26-year-old set personal bests with 61 catches, 593 yards, three touchdowns and 15 starts. Conklin will partner with fellow free agent signing C.J. Uzomah, giving New York a makeover at a tight end position that has been neglected in recent years.
