In an eventful day of NFL transactions, the New York Jets and Atlanta Falcons have made significant signings, while the San Francisco 49ers have managed to retain key players for their upcoming season.

Firstly, the Jets have brought back a familiar face as they agreed to a one-year deal with defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw. Coached by Robert Saleh during his time with the 49ers, Kinlaw overcame a challenging start to his career and delivered a solid performance in the 2023 season. With his best football coming in the latter part of the season, the Jets are hopeful that Kinlaw will bolster their defensive line.

Meanwhile, the 49ers have been active in solidifying their roster as well. They plan to sign defensive lineman Yetur Gross-Matos to a two-year contract worth up to $18 million. Known for his versatility, Gross-Matos has been able to line up inside and showcase his skills on the field. His ability to play in multiple positions will be valuable for the 49ers as they seek to strengthen their defensive line.

The 49ers have also made moves to retain their own players. They have tendered a one-year contract to wide receiver Jauan Jennings, who had an impressive season. The offer, valued at $4.89 million, allows Jennings to negotiate with other teams, but the 49ers have the right of first refusal. If Jennings decides to leave for a better offer, the 49ers will receive a second-round pick. However, there is still a possibility for a long-term extension for Jennings.

Additionally, the 49ers have re-signed veteran quarterback Brandon Allen, who served as their third-string quarterback in 2023. While the team is still looking to add depth to their backup quarterback position, Allen's return provides stability and experience to the quarterback room as they continue to support their mainstay, Brock Purdy.

In other news, the Atlanta Falcons have made a significant move by signing tight end Charlie Woerner to a three-year deal worth up to $12 million. With Woerner growing up just outside of Atlanta, this signing brings him closer to his hometown. Woerner has primarily been a solid run blocker and valuable special teams player during his time with the 49ers, but the Falcons hope he can also contribute as a receiving threat alongside George Kittle.

Overall, these signings and retentions highlight the active nature of the NFL offseason as teams work to strengthen their rosters. The Jets, 49ers, and Falcons have all made strategic moves to address key areas of their teams, and football fans will be eagerly anticipating how these players will impact their respective teams in the upcoming season.
