That is a great point..
Did Jenkins say I will sign for 23 million ( when he was getting 25 from Philly)
Even that contract wasn't what it seemed. It was a 1 year, $4 Million deal with the option for more.
The truth is we don't know what talks there were between Jenkins and ourselves, since no numbers were presented. It's possible he was seeking a lot more than we were willing to pay.
I agree our pass rush took a step back without him in the lineup, but I'm not going to single that out as the lone reason why our defense was poor. We also couldn't tackle to save our lives, which I think is a bigger factor in not being able to get off the field.
As for re-signing him, I don't think we should. Despite having one season where he stayed healthy, I still view him as an injury risk, and frankly, I'd rather find a young guy with upside potential.
