The New York Jets are signing free-agent offensive guard Laken Tomlinson to a three-year, $40 million deal on Monday. The maximum value of the deal is $41.2 million, with $27 million guaranteed. The former first-round pick (28th overall) of the Detroit Lions in 2015 has been an important piece of the San Francisco 49ers offensive line over the last five seasons, but now he'll head to New York, where he'll be tasked with improving their O-line in front of young quarterback Zach Wilson. Tomlinson will be reuniting with head coach Robert Saleh in New York. The 30-year-old is coming off his first Pro Bowl season in 2021 when he started all 17 regular season games for the Niners. Tomlinson missed just one game in his five seasons in San Fran.
