NY Jets agree to sign former 49ers DT Javon Kinlaw

The defensive tackle position was an underrated need for the New York Jets going into free agency, as Quinnen Williams was the only viable DT on the roster. Now, the Jets have a little more security at the position.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Robert Saleh is reuniting with a former first-round pick who was taken by the 49ers during Saleh’s time as San Francisco’s defensive coordinator: Javon Kinlaw. The 26-year-old is coming to New York on a one-year deal.
