If you switched out Uzomah for Barnidge on the 2016 Browns, Uzomah would not be a top option.

Barnidge put up over 1,000 yards/9 TD in 2015. Uzomah doesn't have that in him.

With both Green and Eifert out in the final 2 games of the 2016 season, Uzomah put up 8 catches/41 yards (5.1 AVG)/1 TD... and that was with Uzomah being the #1 TE and Green not taking any touches away.

When Uzomah was being relied upon to be a leader, he put up numbers worse than a pass catching RB. Barnidge showed he could help carry the load, and his QBs just the last two years have been...
-Josh McCown
-Johnny Manziel
-Austin Davis
-Cody Kessler
-Robert Griffin 3rd
-Charlie Whitehurst
-Kevin Hogan

7 horrible QBs in the last two years and he's still put up 134/1,655/11 and can be pretty much relied upon to be healthy for 16 games.

Uzomah has some potential though. He had a few drops I noticed, but he also had some great catches as well. not bad for a 3rd string TE with plenty of potential.
