Uzomah has signed a three-year deal worth more than $18 million to remain with the Bengals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

It's quite a nice payout for Uzomah, who caught 43 passes for 439 yards and three TDs in his fourth NFL season. Given the lucrative terms of his new contract, it's clear that the Bengals view Uzomah as a big part of their offense for the next few years. Meanwhile, fellow tight ends Tyler Eifert and Tyler Kroft are set to become unrestricted free agents Wednesday.

Allen will sign a two-year, $7 million deal with the Dolphins, Josina Anderson of ESPN reports.

It didn't take long for the veteran free agent to find a new team following his release from the Patriots, as Allen nearly signed with the Ravens before ultimately locking in a two-year pack with the AFC East rival just days later. The team's 2018 second-round pick, Mike Gesicki, headlines a talented but unproven tight end depth chart. meaning Allen will likely reprise his role with the Patriots as a blocking specialist, albeit with a different team.

Daniels received an extended tender offer from the Cardinals on Friday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Daniels appeared in two games for the Cardinals after being claimed off waivers in December. It remains to be seen if he will accept the team's offer.

The Packers extended a tender to Tonyan on Friday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

With less than three accrued seasons, Tonyan is an exclusive rights free agent, leaving him with no option but to sign the aforementioned tender. He was active for all 16 games last season, first as a special teamer before slowly but surely working his way into the offense. With fellow tight ends Lance Kendricks and Marcedes Lewis about to become unrestricted free agents, Tonyan will enter the new league year as the No. 2 to starter Jimmy Graham.

The Cardinals extended a tender to Seals-Jones (neck) on Friday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

As an exclusive rights free agent, Seals-Jones has no leverage and will sign the tender in due time, or else not be able to play in 2019. In 25 games the last two seasons, he's recorded 46 catches (on 97 targets) for 544 yards and four touchdowns. With the arrival of Charles Clay in Arizona, Seals-Jones may have difficulty having that true breakout in 2019, but an improving Josh Rosen and new system under coach Kliff Kingsbury could help the tight end's cause.

Tomlinson was not offered a contract tender by the Jets, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Tomlinson was limited to eight catches for 72 yards in 15 games this past season and the 26-year-old will now look to catch on with another team as a depth tight end.

Allen is scheduled to head to Baltimore and Buffalo on Tuesday, Josina Anderson of ESPN reports.

Allen has wasted no time after getting released by the Patriots on Monday. The veteran tight end had 13 receptions and one touchdown during his two-season stint in New England.

Fumagalli (sports hernia) said Monday that his goal is to return to full health in April, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

Fumagalli, who spent his entire rookie season on injured reserve after sustaining a sports hernia last offseason, said he's "almost there" with regard to his recovery. Returning to full health next month would allow Fumagalli to participate unhindered in OTAs. With both Jeff Heuerman and Matt LaCosse possibly headed for free agency, Fumagalli could offer competition to Jake Butt (knee) for the Broncos' starting tight end role.

Kelce recently underwent ankle surgery and is expected to miss the majority of the team's spring workouts, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

It's worth noting that Kelce is expected to be back in time for training camp after undergoing surgery to "clean up" a preexisting injury. While the procedure doesn't sound serious, it's something worth monitoring throughout the course of the offseason given Kelce's sheer dominance the past three seasons, as he's recorded 3,499 receiving yards and 22 touchdowns over that stretch.

Allen was released by the Patriots on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The veteran tight end was due a base salary of $6.4 million in 2019, which seemed to make this move a mere formality considering Allen had just 13 receptions total in the past two seasons. There's a possibility Allen could return to the Patriots for less money, but with a deep pool of potential replacements either via free agency or the upcoming draft, the 29-year-old might see a lukewarm response from other teams on the open market.
