Not a deal that suggests that they're about to sign Jenkins. This is a big one.

I don't know much about him, but I guess that means our d-line is complete with Bowen-Cofield-J. Jenkins

GTripp0012 · 07-28-2011, 02:13 PM

And the Redskins have now exceeded the CBA requirement for cash spent in the 2011 season, doing so with 30+ million of deadcap.

Cullen could be headed to Dallas now.

Who called this? Someone here did a while back I think.

I know one of my sources (a former scout, but not Dan Shonka) called it in April. But honestly, he's such a terrible source (wrong 3 out of 4 times) that I totally disregarded it

I'd be surprised if Jenkins is signed now. We can afford him, but this was not an insignificant deal.

SmootSmack · 07-28-2011, 02:15 PM

People need to start writing either J. Jenkins or C. Jenkins to avoid this confusion

vallin21 · 07-28-2011, 02:17 PM

I'm Surprised... Don't see us affording both him and C. Jenkins.

skinsfan69 · 07-28-2011, 02:17 PM

Why are we signing someone that couldn't start for Dallas? Not a fan of this one.

D'BOYZ · 07-28-2011, 02:20 PM

I posted this on another thread great sign guys you got a guy cheaper, young that can play both the 3-4 and 4-3 that's on the raise great signing this relly hurts us.. the contract is 5 years 27.5 mill with 12.5 guaranteed

Is this guy any damn good? I know he played for Spears when he went down but I really didn't see all that much. Your d was god awful last year.

He was actually going to be the starter thsi year and was the starter last year after Spears went down. Of the 3 FA DE we had Spears, Bowen and Hatcher... our front office wanted Bowen back

Agreed... And we overpaid for him (5yr 27.5 milion). And 12.5 million up front?

Yeah I meant Jarvis Jenkins there.

JoeRedskin · 07-28-2011, 02:24 PM

Well, he's 3 years younger than C. Jenkins. Perhaps it was a "buy the younger guy" kind of deal.

Revamping the line certainly. Not seeing a lot of run-stuffers in the new group though.

yeah, me neither - dude's started 11 games in 5 seasons and clearly hasn't made much of an impression. To give him as much money as they did is a little stupid in my book.
