THE trade target we should be targeting... (Elgton Jenkins)

Per Spotrac, he's making less than $4M per year. Is extremely versatile (which would definitely come in handy with our various OL injuries), and is a FA after this season (both potentially making him attainable and also, possibly contributing to our compensatory picks, if we can't resign him).

 

I have no idea if he's remotely available, but was a surprise practice holdout today...

Drafted six spots after the Bills took Cody Ford.

Ugh. What could've been.

Great.  You can bump this thread in March.  😂

I think he means trade target. I would be surprised if we traded for a OG.

Thank you, yes I did. Fixed the title.

 

What excites me about Jenkins is that he can (and does) literally play all 5 spots on the line, he's not just an OG.

What are you getting at here? Is he hurt? Vet rest day? Or something else? What makes it a surprise?

I think if the Bills were going to make a trade they would have done it by now.  It would have been the perfect time as the player could have started learning our playbook during out bye week.  Of course a trade can still happen for another week almost but last week would have been better.

Yeah. I deleted my post after I reread yours. 😉

The surprise is that he was held out. Could be something (because they're trading him), or absolutely nothing (minor, previously unknown injury/unscheduled rest day, etc.)

I can't see the Packers with Rodgers trading him in season despite their struggles. My guess is GB thinks they can turn it around and I don't blame them. Now if Rodgers retires in the offseason, they are in full rebuild mode, then I can see it then.

They can't enter in to any trade without the stadium renderings. Who in their right mind would agree to a trade without seeing the new stadium?

got it. Well hopefully someone will ask them about it after practice.

I find it super annoying that you created a topic without the name of the player you wanted us to target in the title or in the body of the post.

Clickbait thread titles/topics are the worst.

Not going to happen. Guarantee it

[snamsnoops]

Why would GB trade a young versitle lineman? I am on bored with acquiring the player, but I think it's more of a wishful thinking!

[GunnerBill]

I'd love it. But see no way the Pack would do it. They are already trying to get better up front. They keep talking about it. Trading away one of your best OL doesn't make a lot of sense.

The most likely addition will be

another Quality pass rusher.

 

Everything is geared to stop Mahomes...we shall see

What’s surprising about him being held out of practice? He tore his ACL in the second half of last season and has been getting a lower workload this year as he plays his way back to form. 
 

Plus, there’s no way in hell that any NFL team trades away a probowl lineman on a rookie contract that can play every position on the Oline. The only way a guy like that gets shipped off is if he beats down the starting QB in practice after getting caught with three kilos of Peruvian marching powder.

Since I don’t care if the Packers suck, I might look at trading every OL starter……just to see Rodgers react.   😋

Two comments in response to some of the posts above:

 

1.  Rodgers isn't retiring.  He has 50 million reasons to play out this season and next.

 

2. The only logic to the Packers trading this guy is that he's a UFA, so he could potentially leave after the season and they could get nothing and/or they don't have the cap space to sign him to a market value contract next year.  (Two caveats - 1.  I only know he's a UFA because someone said it above; and 2. I have not factored in compensatory picks, but I don't know how that system works.  I can guarantee that someone else on this board does.)
