Jenkins threatens to test free agency

[Boston Ram]

Still would rather go 1 year at 14. I would like to see more than 1 year of him playing at this level. Not ready to go long term with JJ. The team still has leverage, they should use it if they have to

If you want a shutdown CB, you pay for Jenkins. I think with Gaines, it's possible we don't pay.

Not sure I would bank on a CB coming back from a lisfranc injury.

If we dont resign him we will need to draft cb high or get a good one in FA. Hes our #1 cb. The rest we have are #2 and #3 cbs

Gaines is a good cb to guard #2 and #3 receivers but not the best receiver on field. Him and Tru. Jenkins is playing better then a lot of cb

Exactly. When we play a guy like Dez or Brown, Jenkins is the guy we put on them. He's a true #1 cb. Tru has made significant progress, but he's still not someone I would trust all game on the big play wrs.

That doesn't mean you don't even look to upgrade a serious defect in your offense. I realize that we aren't the only ones looking at Jeffrey but the same will be said of JJ as well. I'm not advocating breaking the bank for either one. Just that if push came to shove cap wise the team is better off with TJ at corner and a guy like AJ at WR vs JJ and TJ both at corner. And we still may very well need OL help again if the rookies and GRob don't get it together. If Jenkins were to get injured today, this is still a NFC champ defense. This is not a champion offense. Whether or not Fisher does anything about that who knows.

If Jenkins get hurt you will find out real quick how wrong you are. We will go back to playing soft coverage. And GRob the last two games have played very good even his pass blocking has gotten better Fisher and Co aren't about to dump this one line after 1 year. So you wanna pay tru and get AJ and that's better for the team cap wise how. It doesn't make sense you aren't being realistic as to the market value of AJ or what even tru might want. I would rather spend 18 million a year for Jenkins and tru then 16 million for Trumaine and AJ

Tru and Gaines are downgrades from Jenkins. Neither can guard #1s. We coukd use a upgrade at wr bjt it want mean anything if The line and Foles dont Improve. I just dont see wr as that big of a need. If we dont resign Jenkins we will be picking Cb high in the draft. Would rather reign Jenkins and draft a receiver

Jenkins has been playing lights out. I don't know sh!t about contracts but I would pay him close to what he's asking and add on performance bonuses that could equate to what he wants or more. If that's possible.

Yep and Brown did next to nothing when Jenkins was coverng him. James Jones non existent when Jenkins was on him

Completely agree.
