ESPN - Kris Jenkins a short-timer in Carolina? - Hashmarks by Matt Mosley (http://myespn.go.com/blogs/hashmarks/0-5-396/Kris-Jenkins-a-short-timer-in-Carolina-.html)
Jenkins has said he loves the Washington area (where he spends his off-seasons) and Panthers general manager Marty Hurney should be shopping him to the Redskins and Ravens before the rest of the league.
Jenkins, who still can be dominant at times, might thrive in a new environment and he should have some market value. But the NFL isn't big on trades, especially when 31 other teams know one team wants to unload a player. That could lead to a scenario where the Panthers get nothing for Jenkins........................................... ..............................
But unloading him still could work to the advantage of a team that needs to free up salary cap room. Unlike last year when salary-cap ramifications meant the Panthers would have taken a big hit if they let Jenkins go, they simply can cut him this time around.
That scenario may be tempting because Jenkins is scheduled to count $5.5 million against the 2008 salary cap. If he's released, the Panthers would free up $3 million in cap space. Keep an eye on this situation in the next couple of weeks because Jenkins is scheduled to receive a $1 million roster bonus in early March.
What do you guys think?

I'd rather we gave them nothing for him as the quote suggests. If he likes D.C. that much we would have a decent shot at him in FA if we decided to go that way.

The rap on Jenkins is he gets hurt, is never in tip top shape and is an underachiever. He reminds me of Shawn Rogers of Det. Maybe a change of scenery is what this guy needs. But lets not give up draft picks for this guy. Let Carolina release him and then sign him to an incentive contract.

Well I wanted to create a Ramsey thread but I figured that this would be more fun. Man I can't believed I missed the 2008 thread on Kris Jenkins. Had I known I just would have posted the article in the existing thread and the thread would have bumped itself to the top.
