A Kris Jenkins Rumor

Is that an indication that he's being courted by the Skins to become the Associate Assistant Head Coach - Special Teams? The Skins don't have one of those yet...

Just asking.

It all depends on who he's sitting with. Remember last offseason...



..okay, I couldn't find the picture (but this one came up for some reason), but remember last year that Cooley and some other guys took Lloyg and AA to a Wizards game.

I know a guy who works at a Starbucks in Bethesda and he swears he saw Dwight Freeney getting a double-grand mocha latte in a Doug Williams jersey

While we're in the business of discussing rumors, I swear I saw Elvis cooking Chicken McNuggets at McD's. Oh and Batboy is for real.

I think your mistaken about the Elvis sighting, because I believe I saw him at Wendy's, however that is a simple mistake as they are owned by McD's.

Kris Jenkins will likely attract numerous suitors in free agency if the Panthers do in fact release him. Given that the Redskins have to restructure player salaries merely to sign enough players to fill the roster and that most other teams have between $10M and $25M of salary cap space, it is unlikely that the Redskins could offer Jenkins a contract.

I don't see a need for a DT. We have pretty good plays at that position though they have been hurt this past season. Our problem is that our LBs are shit and our DE can't buy a sack. I see no reason why we would want Jenkins.

[vaoutlaws2006]

lets just say thats rumor.

[Sean"Big Hurt"Taylor]

Apparently that combination was not getting it done since we had the least amount of sacks in the league. Remember your de and cb can not be any good if you do not have pressure. Look at the Greg Williams' teams in buffalo. It all starts at the core. We have Carter and add another speed rusher so that is all they will have to do and two big, fat tackles in the middle is a staple of Gregg Williams' defense. Yeah Kris Jenkins is a beast in run support when healthy. He really does free up other players to do there thing.

Maybe it's a decoy, and Kris was actually doing some house hunting for his kid brother Cullen, who is a free agent (restricted)

Could be, but do they have the same agent, because apparently he was there with Kris yesterday.
Hell, maybe the ravens are going to try to get him and he's just looking in PG because he went to UMD and knows that area.

Jenkins is a monster when healthy... imagine him pairing up with Griffin?! Wow!

Injuries are definitely a concern with him though.

[BDBohnzie]

Are you kidding me? Elvis works at a truck stop in Natchez, MS, and moonlights as a lounge singer on one of those Gambling Riverboats.

Kris Jenkins would be a good pick up, if the price is right. Plenty of other areas need to be met before overspending on a DT.

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.

I will take this for what it is. A grain of salt. If this is true I will only say this. NO MORE FREE AGENTS. Bringing in players from another system is just not the way to go and every Redskin fan should know this. Does anyone remember Dana Stubblefield? Or how about Dan Wilkinson?

I agree. The defensive lines biggest problem is age. We have few draft picks, and at least two need to go to this unit.

I like Kris Jenkins, but he and Griffin are very similar players. We'd be better off with Alan Branch. Gotta inject youth if we are going to survive the next few years.

Exactly. We need a serious youth movement on defense and it might take some time. We need to build just like Tennessee is doing it.

Jimmy Johnson was on Brian M. show today and he said the Redskins are always looking for the quick fix. Well bringing in more FA's is just a quick fix. Let's draft this year and next year and try and stockpile.
