Jets' David Onyemata: Agrees to join Jets

He's projected to work as a starter on the interior of the Jets' defensive line after posting a career-high 62 tackles (29 solo) in 17 games for the Falcons in 2025.

Falcons' David Onyemata: Posts career-high stops in 2025
Onyemata played in 17 regular-season games for the Falcons in 2025 and finished with 62 tackles (29 solo), including 1.0 sack.
Onyemata's sack total was his lowest since his rookie campaign in 2016 with the Saints (zero), but he was still active on defense with 11 games with at least four stops en route to setting a career high in tackles. He has played every single regular-season game in three of the last four years, and that durability should help in negotiations with teams as an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Falcons' David Onyemata: Cleared for Week 15 matchup
Onyemata (foot) is active for Thursday's game against the Buccaneers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Onyemata was limited by a foot injury throughout the week, but he was able to practice each day. That's enough for him to suit up in Week 15 against Tampa Bay, and he should play a fairly significant role along Atlanta's defensive line.

Onyemata (foot) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Tampa Bay, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Falcons' David Onyemata: Still tending to foot issue
Onyemata (foot) was a limited participant during the Falcons' walkthrough practice Tuesday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Onyemata was able to play through his foot problem in Week 14 versus the Seahawks, but it's still bothering him as Atlanta is starting preparation for Week 15. As long as he's able to practice Wednesday, he should still be considered likely to play Thursday at Tampa Bay.
