To put things in perspective. If tt would have resigned jenkins, it would be us taking the cap hit from releasing him today, not the eagles

Cullen's football was good enough to warrant negotiations which Green Bay didn't offer.
I think he freelanced a bit, creating a rift between him and coaches who wanted better adherence to scheme.
Thus, no negotiations then or now.[QUOTE=George Cumby] ...every draft (Ted) would pick a solid, dependable, smart, athletically limited linebacker...the guy who isn't doing drugs, going to strip bars, knocking around his girlfriend or making any plays of game changing significance.

Well then let Clay send him flowers.Originally posted by rbaloha1 View PostBring him back.
recall during an nfl broadcast how much clay matthews missed him.I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud
They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

Depending on the broadcast team, that might be an argument for avoiding him.Originally posted by rbaloha1 View PostBring him back.

Precisely. Did he start out 2010 as a starter in base or was he a nickel sub after an injury? Does anyone remember?Originally posted by Patler View PostAs a guy primarily known for his pass rushing ability, Cullen Jenkins has only one flaw......he doesn't tackle the QB very often.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs.

He had that calf injury that kept him out.
When he came back, he was money, you had to double him a lot.
He was our glue that allowed Raji to go crazy at the other end.
Cullen started all 32 games for the Birds.Last edited by KYPack; 02-25-2013, 09:40 PM.

Pro Football Reference has him down for 8 starts in 11 games participated. Wonder how many were from nickel? I remember him being dislodged after camp from base. But my memory could be fooling me.Originally posted by KYPack View PostHe started in base at RDE when he was healthy.

Jenkins was out for a stretch in 2010 due to two separate injuries, but when he returned late in the year and the playoffs, he dominated and helped us win the ring. He has played pretty well for the Eagles, but not great. On the plus side, he's been able to stay healthy.
Them cutting him is not a shock to me at all. When he signed his 5 year $25mil deal with them, most of the deal was backloaded in the last 3 years. When I saw the contract spread, I was very disappointed that the Packers did not offer a similar contract, because the Eagles ended up spending well under the going rate for a guy of his caliber for two seasons.

They did a re-write. 5.25 mil signing bonus + the vet min for '13.
Then, they cut him before the signing bonus came due.
That's called a "Philly handshake" deal.
All you guys who hate players making money are dancing a little "Zulu warrior" dance with that deal.
