A Kris Jenkins Rumor

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.

But don't you think a lot of that "quick fix" mentality has to do with the fans themselves? I mean, I think if blame is going to be placed on Dan Snyder for any reason it's because he still has that mentality that he did when he was "just" a fan, like most on this board. And I think he's gotten a lot better and more patient but he still gets suckered into that fan mob mentality that so many, even here, possess; where complete and utter panic sets in when we even lose a scrimmage.

Of course it does. It seems most of the fans want to gas up Redskins One, go get Clements/Samuel and some more FA's. If we were one or two players away from being a Super Bowl contender then make the move. But let's face it. We have a young unproven QB, one proven wr, defensive line is a mess, one good LB, and the the 2ndary is a complete mess. So we have a ways to go and it's probably not going to get fixed in one year. So everyone needs to be more patient.

But one thing that needs to happen is Danny needs to suck it up and bring in a proven GM. For the life of me I don't understand why he spends all this $ on coaches and players but won't bring in a top GM or personel guy. MAKES NO SENSE.

One of the problems is Joe S. keeps getting hurt. We got enough mileage out of him and if a smart GM was here, he would have realized that we needed a young player waiting in the wings. Perhaps Goldston is the player but who knows. He played ok. But the main reason we kept getting gashed on the run was Carter, Marshall and Holdman. Carter and Marshall should not be in on run downs and Holdman just needs to be cut, or be in a back-up role.

I agree. We need a behemoth run stuffer. That will improve our LBs in run defense, and our DEs in pass rushing. Doesn't Branch fit that mold?

do you think if Snyder went to coach, and told him he was thinking about bringing casserly( or any other gm) in the mix, Gibbs would threaten retirement?

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

Rumor is Carolina is shoping him for a trade. would the forum be happy if we traded up for CJ then traded springs and a 4th for Jenkins? Personally I would be fine with it

What do you have to trade to move up though? Also, doesn't KJ have an injury history?

[dmek25]

good player when healthy. just wondering about his age, along with his availability

He had real bad injury seasons in 04,05 in 2006 he was active for all 16 games. His stats below:

PANTHERS SHOPPING JENKINS

When the Carolina Panthers signed defensive tackles Ma'ake Kemoeatu and Damione Lewis in 2006, some league insiders assumed that the moves were a sign that the team was thinking about to parting ways with defensive tackle Kris Jenkins.

A year later, the Panthers reportedly are trying to make it happen.

According to Pat Yasinskas the Charlotte Observer, sources from multiple teams say that the Panthers have made it clear that they would be willing to trade Jenkins if the price were right. G.M. Marty Hurney declined to comment on whether Jenkins is on the trading block.

The Panthers also have Jorden Carstens under contract, and recently signed Chad Lavalais.

Jenkins started 16 games in 2006, and made it back to the Pro Bowl after two seasons that were marred by injury. But he has skipped out on the start of the team's offseason program, despite having a $175,000 workout bonus in his contract.

We're hoping that Jenkins gets traded to the Raiders, so that he can play alongside his idol (eye roll), Warren Sapp. Said Jenkins about Sapp in 2005: "I hate him. Everybody says I'm supposed to be polite when I talk to you all, but I hate him. He talks too much, he doesn’t make sense, he's fat, he's sloppy, he acts like he's the best thing since sliced bread. He's ugly, he stinks, his mouth stinks, his breath stinks, and basically his soul stinks, too."

Jenkins also said that seeing Sapp celebrate on the Panthers' home field after a 2004 game that Jenkins missed due to a season-ending shoulder injury drove Jenkins to stop going to the team's games -- and to increase his consumption of alcohol.

Though Jenkins made a strong comeback in 2006, our guess is that other teams are still concerned about his work ethic, and his ability to stay healthy. It's a risk-reward thing, and the question is whether the potential downside will make another team shy away from a guy who still has a solid potential upside.
