glazeduck Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 https://www.packers.com/team/players-roster/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... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What could've been. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7975 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 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. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo1105 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snamsnoops Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea if he's remotely available, but was a surprise practice holdout today... 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msw2112 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 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.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
