The Jets re-signed Thomas on Friday, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old defensive lineman is now in line to remain in New York after spending the last two seasons with the Jets. Thomas has appeared in 34 games over the past two years, recording 53 total tackles, including 5.5 sacks (5.0 in 2023) and an additional 3.5 tackles for loss. The 2017 first-round pick has started just three games during his time in New York, so he'll likely compete for another depth role on the Jets' defensive line this offseason.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Fifth-year option declined
DESan Francisco 49ers
May 1, 2020
Thomas had his fifth-year option declined by the 49ers on Friday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The former No.3 overall pick in 2017 has fallen short of expectations to an extreme degree through his first three seasons, and the 49ers will not agree to keep him through 2021 at this stage. Thomas saw his snap count drop from 646 in 2018 to 428 in 2019 as he became a rotational piece on San Francisco's defensive line. He will get one more season to right the ship before he hits free agency in 2021.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2020
2018
2017
It would be hard to label Thomas as anything but a bust after being selected with the third overall pick in the 2017 draft. The former Stanford standout has struggled to establish himself as an outside rushing threat, and he is considered undersized when shifted to the interior. Thomas' struggles are highlighted by the club declining the fifth year on his rookie contract, making 2020 a make or break season for the defensive lineman in San Francisco. He will have to prove himself while beginning the year as a backup rotational piece.
The 49ers were largely considered to have won the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft after trading down and still getting their guy, Solomon Thomas, with the third overall pick. Results were mixed in his rookie campaign, as the athletic freak managed just three sacks to go along with 41 tackles in 14 games. Thomas did show flashes of his potential at times, but he'll need to step it up in his sophomore season in order to evade early "bust" rumblings. The 22-year-old will serve a hybrid role in 2018, serving as the pass-rushing "Leo" defensive end in base formations, while moving inside on passing downs. It sounds like the 49ers plan to officially unleash Thomas as an every-down player, after limiting his snaps last year.
The 49ers have been looking for a replacement for Justin Smith ever since he retired, taking defensive linemen in the first round of the draft for three consecutive years. The team may have found its best replica to date when they used the third overall pick to draft Thomas, a slightly-undersized defensive end who brings the ferocity that the Cowboy used to exhibit. There are concerns about his length and his ability to generate enough sacks from the defensive end position, but the Stanford product certainly has the athleticism and motor to prove doubters wrong. Like DeForest Buckner before him, Thomas should immediately make an impact up front for a young 49ers defense.
