Solomon Thomas Fantasy

Veteran defensive lineman Solomon Thomas re-signed a one-year deal worth up to $3.9 million on Wednesday to return to the New York Jets, according to a source. The San Francisco 49ers' former first-round pick (third overall) in 2017 will return for a second season with Gang Green after posting 26 tackles (13 solo), half a sack and four QB hits in 17 regular season games (zero starts) in 2022. Head coach Robert Saleh served as Thomas' defensive coordinator from 2017 to 2020, so they have plenty of familiarity. The 27-year-old is likely to continue serving in a rotational role on the Jets defensive line, which puts him off the fantasy radar in IDP leagues.

The New York Jets signed free-agent defensive end Solomon Thomas to an undisclosed one-year deal on Monday, according to a source. Thomas was a first-round pick (third overall) by the San Francisco 49ers in 2017, and he'll reunite with head coach Robert Saleh in New York. The 26-year-old played his first four seasons in the Bay area before joining the Las Vegas Raiders last year, where he recorded 34 tackles (17 solo), three tackles for loss, 12 QB hits, a career-high 3.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in 17 games (no starts). While Thomas isn't worth watching in IDP leagues, he could play a key role on the Jets defensive line this season under Saleh.

The Las Vegas Raiders signed defensive tackle Solomon Thomas to a one-year deal worth up to $5 million, according to source. The team also re-signed defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins to a one-year, $3.5 million fully guaranteed deal. Former Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Quinton Jefferson also was added by the Raiders. Thomas hasn't lived up to his status as the former third overall pick in 2017 and suffered a torn ACL in Week 2 last year and missed the rest of the season. Hankins has started every game and played more than 60 percent of the defensive snaps for the Raiders in the last two seasons. He had 48 tackles and a sack in 2020. Over his five-year career, Jefferson has 10.5 sacks and 35 QB hits with the Seahawks and Bills.
