...........here's a twist for everyone....really curious to @Dantés your thoughts.
So, who is the one guy that all of us included are ignoring might be the perfect trade piece?
Who has proven to be an NFL starter for likely any team in the league...
Still has some great football ahead of him....
Other teams would want......
And the Packers have reserves in place to let him walk....
Elgton Jenkins folks.
IF Green Bay and Jenkins relationship sours truly to a degree where we have another weird and complex Jaire situation I think the trade that everyone didn't see coming makes a TON of sense. Would it be betting on a few things - for sure...but that's the life in the NFL.
Sean Rhyan yes is in his final year of a deal, but he is HERE and he has center experience and was the next center up when Myers and Jenkins were out. I know for a fact the staff liked how he did at center work. You have Monk in the background or low cost type free agents with starting experience in a Sam Mustipher or a Daniel Brunskill for a one year deal also either to start or back up Rhyan.
Arguably if there is a team out there that suffers a guard go down, or has a need now, Jenkins would look EXTREMELY attractive....and we don't need another unhappy body in the building.
Now I'm still of the mindset there is a logical world where the two sides come together, ensure Jenkins somewhat that he is not on a deadend contract to be cut next year, while not mortgaging too much of the future - risking the ability to sign Tom long term. Given where Jenkins is in his career vs Tom, the team would be wise to choose Tom everyday that ends in y and roll that dice rather than the older one.
