During free agency, the Jets signed former Oakland Raiders defensive lineman Solomon Thomas to a one-year deal. Thomas was given a one-year contract by the Jets, worth up to $2.25 million with most of it guaranteed. During his four years with the 49ers, Thomas saw his playing time reduce each season. In the offseason after the 2019 season, Thomas had a surgery to repair a torn labrum and then had another a few months later due to a bone spur in his ankle. However, putting that aside, the Jets are bringing in a low-cost rotational lineman who has good character and was productive in a rotational role last season.
