A Kris Jenkins Rumor

ArtMonkDrillz · 01-29-2007, 08:07 PM

So this is just sort of a rumor, so don't get to carried away with it, but I heard it from my dad, who was talking about it at work. I know how people get all pissed off about unsubstantiated rumors, so take this with a grain of salt, but...

My dad builds houses in Montgomery and PG Counties, and today his sales guy told him that Kris Jenkins (DT - Car) was in today looking for a new places to live with his agent. I know that Jenkins went to UMD, so that could be his only association with the area, but the sales guy (who sounded like he didn't follow football) seemed to think that he was moving to the area because he was going to play for the Skins.
I know free agency doesn't start for over a month, but maybe he knows something and that's why he was looking for a place close to FedEx. Or, it could just be a senseless rumor or miscommunication or whatever, but I figured I'd pass it along anyways.

if i remember right, Jenkins is very good against the run. for the right price, he would be welcome. anyone know if he is injury prone?

Shoulder problem in 2004
Torn ACL in 2005
Played all 16 this year and I think made the Pro Bowl.

If it turns out to be true, I think his price tag will be fairly hefty which makes me wonder if the Skins are looking to trade (Colts?) their #6.

He's a 27 y.o. DT for Carolina.

He's solid. Don't think he's a free agent, but he might be a cap casualty. Question is can we afford to ressurect other teams' casualties?

According to footballsfuture.com, it looks like he might be a cap casualty.

Kris Jenkins, Defensive Tackle, Carolina Panthers
Among other potential cap casualties in Carolina, Jenkins may be the most recognizable name. Jenkins played in every Panthers game this season, but wasn’t quite as effective as hoped, even though he played well. If the tackle wants to stay with his current team, he may have to be willing to re-structure his contract. The Panthers will try to re-structure before simply releasing him, but the team will certainly be making some changes.

Isn't he old?

He is injury prone too. I think he has had major injuries for the past 3 seasons, but at the right price...FCUK it...Couldnt hurt anymore than our current lineup.

AlvinWalton'sNeckBrace · 01-29-2007, 08:20 PM

well...that'd free up a draft pick...still, I don't like bringing in guys if it means letting guys like dock and jansen walk

ArtMonkDrillz · 01-29-2007, 08:22 PM

He played in every game this past season, but missed the vast majority of the '04-'05 and '05-'06 seasons because of injuries to his shoulder and knee, respectively.

I just read that he's supposed to be under contract until 2009, so I guess it would have to be a trade, unless they let him go. I really have no idea what to think.

SmootSmack · 01-29-2007, 08:25 PM

I don't think he should be a priority, if in fact he finds himself on the market.

SmootSmack · 01-29-2007, 08:29 PM

Remember, it could just be he was looking for a house. It may not have even been a house for him. So let's try not to get too worked up...though it is fun to do.

You're probably right about that, but like I said, I figured I'd share, at least to stir the pot a little bit.
