Sigh....USA Today was from this past month. NBC Sports was also this postseason.
Eagles injury report; Week 5 - Triceps, Knee missed practice, Week 6- Triceps missed practice, Week 12 Thumb, missed practice, then limited in practice, Week 14 thumb, partial practice, Week 15 Groin, missed practice, then limited in practice, Week 16 groin, limited practice. That figures up to about 6 weeks where his performance was affected by injury. He left 4 or 5 different games (no I don't have the exact count, I live in the Eagles TV purgatory market) with an injury.
What the heck "agenda" would I have? Am I a Manager or scout trying to bargain down a contract or something? No offense intended, but that's just silly. I'm simply stating a very common perception of Jenkins. I understand you don't agree with that perception. If you're a member of his family, I intend no offense.
And I'm also stating that the loss of Jenkins is not the sole reason the Packers defense struggled this year. I already mentioned they also lost Barnett, Chillar, and Poppinga; all linebackers.
Now here's where we can agree; Jenkins probably would have helped the Packers this year. He's a good guy from all reports. He's a good locker room presence. He was liked by the other guys on the team.
When asked if he would come back to the Packers he said he didn't want to talk about it. So it's a dead end.
