When the news came out that former 49ers defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw had agreed to sign with the New York Jets on a one-year deal, I was a fan of the pickup. I had even mentioned Kinlaw as a potential option for the Jets in an article from a few weeks ago.
I like what Kinlaw did for the 49ers last season. He stayed healthy for the first time in his career and carved out a nice role as a situational interior pass rusher. Coming to New York, he was an ideal scheme fit, as the Robert Saleh-led Jets defense operates very similarly to the 49ers team that Kinlaw and Saleh hail from.
