Jenkins has a $5 million roster bonus due on the first day of the 2012 league year and it's questionable whether the Eagles will pay it. They would not take a salary cap hit if they chose not to pay it and allowed Jenkins to become a free agent because there was no signing bonus in the original deal.
They could ask Jenkins to restructure the deal and convert the roster bonus into a signing bonus, which shink his 2012 cap number to $4 million. But Jenkins would have to agree to it.
Given Jenkins' popularity in the locker room and his strong desire last year to want to return to the Packers, he would undoubtedly consider signing a free agent deal with Green Bay. It probably would cost the Packers a lot less than what the Eagles paid given Jenkins turns 31 in two days.
