Cullen Jenkins

[SkinBasket]

Is going to be released!

Come on, be honest. How many of you guys still have a Jenkins boner? It was the end of the world for some of you just a couple years ago, after all.

[Smeefers]

The dude's 32. I missed him when he left, and considering how horrible our DL has been doing, I wouldn't mind having him back. But not for no stinking 5.5 Million.

[sharpe1027]

He was simultaneously responsible for both the Packers' and Eagles' defensive problems. A very impressive feat.

[Fritz]

I was limp regarding Jenkins.

But I am hard on Drew Barrymore, who just had a birthday last week.

Repped and nicely done.

I vote no again. Would also still vote no if we traveled back in time to 2011 offseason. But it would be a much more agonizing decision.

[Packgator]

Silverstein says Jenkins is interested in returning to the Packers. Doesn't say at what price.

lol

He wasn't a total flop in Philly. His first half season, he performed quite well, and some posters here felt TT had made a mistake letting him go. He had 5.5 sacks that year. Then the team tanked, and he followed?

I think he'll land somewhere. He's gone from Philly because they're having a purge there, I don't think he's done. I wonder what he'll get? He did start 16 games these past two seasons, that's impressive.

Is she strong at the point of attack?

He had those 5.5 sacks in like the 1st 4-6 games. Doesn't matter how you work the chicken-egg argument about player vs team performance, a guy who was supposed to be as good as him doesn't just disappear for 3/4 of a season. And that was a long time ago.

I don't know - doesn't seem like there was much of anything going right in Philly at that time. And a long time ago? Season and half...

I'm not saying he should be brought back - who knows what he'd bring to the table now. And despite his record of being healthy these past 2 seasons, he had trouble staying on the field while here and we've got enough of those guys already. But I also wouldn't rule it out; maybe as a 1yr replacement for Worthy?

edit: looks like someone else floated that idea already

I like the idea of Jenkins more than Canty. The Giants are not in rebuild mode, but chose to cut him with tells me there's a problem there. I do think Jenkins is a victim of Philly looking to clear the slate.

[Fritz]

Yes.

[pbmax]

He had 4.0 sacks this past year and his overall numbers, except for the sack total, were reminiscent of his better years in GB. He is older, so that is not going to get better. And I think he was injured at some point, but that might not be chronic like Canty's knee could be.

The issue is role. He is the ultimate tweener. He is not beefy enough to be Santana Dotson in a 4-3. No 4-3 D has wanted him to play every down at tackle, they want his pass rush.

As a 4-3 end he was worlds better than KGB as a run stopper, but a traffic cone would have been an improvement over Mr. Run-Up-The-Field. But he does have the quickness to consistently beat Tackles versus the Pass.

As a 3-4 end he is well sized. But he lost that job to Raji, Pickett and Howard Green in 2010. I seem to recall him missing some time as well.

He is an interior pass rusher. He could be useful, but the Packers have Raji, Neal and Daniels there already plus the possible Worthy return.

[Zool]

Yes.

When 2 people kiss, they make a tube with a butt hole at each end.

I thought Jenkins lost his starting job because of the broken hand, but whatever. At this point Jenkins probably doesn't beat out Wilson at RDE when they're playing 3-4. For the Packers scheme Jenkins only has value as interior lineman in the nickel. In light of Worthy's long rehab and Neal's injury history, if Capers plans on playing a lot of nickel this coming year then re-signing Jenkins for a reasonable price would make sense. Having him around could put a damper on Daniels's development but I don't get the sense that Daniels was by the end of 2012 anywhere close to being a guy you just couldn't keep off the field.

[rbaloha1]

Bring him back.

recall during an nfl broadcast how much clay matthews missed him.
