Correct me if I'm wrong, but the part of the season when Clay Matthews was least of a factor was when Jenkins wasn't available.

Yes, Jenkins is going to cost a bunch to keep. But I don't understand the ease with which people are willing to let a superstud player go.

This is not Barnett, who people still argue about how good he is or isn't. This is not Hawk, who no one (save perhaps AJ's agent) thinks is worth 10 million a year. This is not Jones, who still has some questions about whether he's going to solve his performance questions (i.e. drops).

Jenkins is a All-Pro quality stud at his position. You just don't let All-Pros go because All-Pros are expensive to keep.

IMO letting Jenkins go would be as dumb as the Raiders letting Asomugha go. Maybe dumber.

Bye, bye Cullen Jenkins...its been a good ride.

$11-13 million. Ted Thompson probably lol'd.

If you were trying to estimate the future of Cullen, you have a very good estimator with his older brother. Their jeans are very similar (duh). Kris Jenkin's body really started to breakdown after the age of 30. I think he only played in 6 games in 2009, and was knocked out for the season in the first game of 2010. Before that he was with the Panthers were I believe he had problems staying healthy at the end. I love Cullen, and I WANT to pay him the money. But if I were Ted Thompson and I took wants and dreams out of it, I would not pay him.
