Mr. P Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 The Giants and DT Cullen Jenkins agreed to restructure his contract, clearing $825,000 against the salary cap. Jenkins, 34, was originally scheduled to count $2.917 million against the cap and was in danger of potentially losing his roster spot. He started 11 games this past season as the pocket-pushing interior lineman next to NT Johnathan Hankins. Jenkins is a part-time rotational player at this stage of his career. http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/playerbreakingnews.asp?sport=NFL&id=2999&line=306883&spln=1 Cool, I like Jenkins as part of the rotation. Hankins, Jenkins, Bromley, Rookie, Kuhn?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Agreed. He's been pretty solid and comes at a reasonable price. Hoping to see a whole lot of Bromely though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nas Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I'm hoping the Giants go after Stephen Paea in free agency Don't know anything about him.. from what I read Chicago's run defense sucked. I just don't think the DT position is in need of a FA pickup when there are other more pressing needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boohyah Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 That's fine. He was in an option year and he hasn't played badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Well they could still wind up cutting him later on which they should. 2013 was last time he was effective and at his age might have been the last time. You have a problem at DT when Markus Kuhn is starting. The guy is strictly a backup by every measurable stat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Jenkins can play DE as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sephiroth Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Wow I have not seen a Leroy Jenkins in a long time... the epitome of fragging your own team mates... He was an awesome card in Hearthstone though. I don't know how many times I dropped that guy and the opponent just quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishgutmartyr Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I'm ok with it--part time player getting part time pay. Allows us to concentrate on DE/outside LBs, which were getting horse-whipped on outside runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treehugger Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 That's fine. He was in an option year and he hasn't played badly. Then how do you 'restructure' a contract with only one year remaining? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishgutmartyr Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Really? That rotation sucked... We were dead last in YPC last year. Opponents were gashing us on the outside--JPP had a nasty habit of collapsing towards the center on rushing plays. Constantly. Regardless of what was happening during the play. That left the devastating presence of Williams to cover the outside. Sure, an upgrade at DT wouldn't hurt. But we need DEs and OLBs much, much more.

Mr. P Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 It was a paycut. He agreed to a new deal that included a pay cut that could range anywhere from $700,000 to $1.2 million if he's on the roster this season. http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2015/02/giants_cullen_jenkins_kind_of_knew_pay_cut_was_com.html Defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins, whose roster spot was thought to be on the bubble due to his age and salary, has agreed to a pay cut and will return to the Giants in 2015. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/giants/cullen-jenkins-takes-1m-pay-cut-remain-giants-article-1.2116279 What this means is that the Giants got Jenkins, who has only one year left on his deal, to take a pay cut http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/giants/post/_/id/41737/giants-cap-adjustments-begin-with-cullen-jenkins-pay-cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
