Message: <blockquote data-quote="TJV" data-source="post: 377755" data-attributes="member: 4300">Two points on Cullen Jenkins: 1. If Capers uses the lineup in the base he's contemplating, BJ Raji will be called upon to replace Jenkins, not Neal (who will be replacing Pickett at strong-side DE). Don’t get me wrong, they'll miss a healthy Cullen Jenkins - particularly in the nickel - but in the past three years he's missed 17 games. However, when he was healthy he averaged almost one-half a sack during that time - that's amazing for (basically) an interior DL.  2. If all I cared about was this season, I'd be pissed about not signing him, too. The Packers could certainly afford, both cap-wise and cash-wise, to pay him what the Eagles are and I don't believe they will have a cap hit if they waive him after this season (if he's injured). But if I were Ted Thompson I couldn't just care about 2011 so when looking at Jenkins, the calculation had to be something like: Do I sign Jenkins and let Finley and/or Sitton and/or Nelson go after this season? For example, if it came down to extending Josh Sitton for 5 years or keeping Jenkins for this year, as much as I like the 30-year old Jenkins, I'd pick Sitton. </blockquote>
