The former first-round pick for the Detroit Lions enjoyed success in San Francisco and stayed healthy during his tenure there. His departure will, without a doubt, leave a hole on where their most durable o-line member once was.

Although Tomlinson is leaving San Francisco, he'll be reuniting with some former Niners personnel in Robert Saleh, Mike LaFleur, and John Benton.

#Jets source called Laken Tomlinson a “stud.”

He’s the very definition of a Robert Saleh, Joe Douglas player: Loves football, extremely athletic and a nasty SOB on the field.
