Since former San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh took over as the New York Jets head coach, they’ve been doing the poaching when it comes to signing former Niners.
As OTAs begin Monday, the 49ers are adding a tight end to the roster as Tyler Kroft has signed a one-year deal. Kroft, a former third-round pick out of Rutgers in the 2015 NFL Draft, started six games for the Jets last season. And judging by his numbers, he’s primarily a blocking tight end. The 6’6”, 252-pound tight end had 16 receptions for 173 yards last season.
