Jets add depth at tight end and offensive line

The Jets re-signed tight end Eric Tomlinson and offensive lineman Brent Qvale, and inked a deal with former Bears tight end Daniel Brown on Tuesday.

Tomlinson, who is more of a blocking tight end, caught eight passes last year in 15 games before he dropped a weight on his foot and ended the season on injured reserve. He also played in 224 special-teams snaps.

Qvale gives the Jets additional depth on the offensive line. He has played guard and tackle for the Jets, who also signed former Vikings guard Tom Compton on Monday and will meet with guard/center Stefen Wisniewski on Tuesday.
