Tyler Conklin Restructures His Contract

The New York Jets restructured the contracts of tight end Tyler Conklin and linebacker Quincy Williams on Tuesday to create $8 million in salary cap space for the upcoming 2024 campaign. The specifics of the restructure of Conklin's contract weren't available, but these moves will give the Jets a little more roster flexibility this year. Conklin was a little bit better in his second year with the Jets in 2023, catching 61 of his 87 targets for a career-high 621 yards, although he failed to find the end zone for the first time since 2019, his second year in the league. The 29-year-old should operate as the team's top pass-catching tight end again in 2024, and if quarterback Aaron Rodgers can stay healthy all year, Conklin could surprise some folks as a TE2 in fantasy.
