The 2007 Offseason Thread

I don't see how, Jenkins is coming cheaper than it would have taken to sign Simon, plus he's a better player. Simon wasn't coming off a pro-bowl season either.

You obviously want to have Kris Jenkins' man-babies, but it's fairly simple:

Jenkins finally played last season for the first time in 3 seasons, and now his team is putting him on the trading block... despite the fact he's making right around $3m in salary each of the next 3 seasons - not unreasonable at all.

He's obviously not the same player he was in 2001-2003, thanks to his injuries.

He's still a top 10 DT in the league and comes with a manageable salary. You're just upset because it'll mean less playing time for Patterson.

I was listening to NFL radio today and they were saying that Jenkins was not worthy of the Pro Bowl this past season FWIW.

I am true believer that the Pro Bowl is not an honor but a penalty of some sort.  For both he players and fans, the actual game that is.  The week of endless parties and staying at a 5 star resort is the ticket for the players.  The fans that go, myself included, therapy.  Lots of therapy.

I wouldn't give up a 2nd rounder for Jenkins. He is too injury prone and as stated, isn't what he once was. He still is an upgrade over what we have though, so I'd take him if the price is right.

Who knows what Carolina is asking for.

You've hit an all time low if you're pointing to Queen Cole to validate your argument. 

Bad squid!

I'm actually doing just the opposite

Are not!

The fact that he's on the block with a decent salary and "Pro Bowl" status just shows he isn't what he used to be.  If he was, he wouldn't be the odd man out.

That said, he's better than half our guys, so take him if he's cheap.
