Cullen Jenkins Signs Five-Year Deal With Philadelphia Eagles

We’ve got Hank Baskett

They never have cap issues and aren’t dumb like that. Though every single one of these signings pisses D Jackson off even more.

This is something that was talked about, but the Eagles saved up a bunch of cap credits from previous years. They have more room than other teams. Essentially, those credits raise their cap for this year.

Something they’ve always done. So they came in about $20 or so million below the normal cap and had all the extra credits added to that.

So your right he’s pretty cheap. On the last year of that contract tho, so he’s gonna wanna get paid soon. ANd probably alot more than he’s worth.

Unless the market wasn’t what he expected, I find this crazy. Not sure why he’d take that deal. I’m glad obviously, but still a bit confused.

I would do it in a heartbeat, just for the depth and insurance for Neal and Wilson. I doubt Thompson does tho. Would much rather have Warren than Green.

experienced 3-4 DE who’s also solid? Can’t have enough of them.

That combination strikes me with fear. I’ll be very surprised if the Vikings don’t win at least twelve games.

haha AWESOME! That takes them out of the Jones market then too! Jenkins is total garbage. That is like a dream come true of the guys that they were looking at!

…and look where it got TT and the Packers.

The Offseason champs won the SB?! Players leave all the time and spill what they know, thats only important for the vikes cuz they don’ squat about football! LOL

team that was a contender last year, AND went out and added Asomugha and DRC in the first round.

Makes no sense! And if Jenkins could be had for $5M a year, why in the world did we not re-sign him? And that’s not mentioning that Jenkins said he’d take a hometown discount to remain with the team. I sure hope DL depth doesn’t become an issue next season.

I’m sure Jenkins was put out because the Packers never offered a contract in his final year. If Thompson thought Jenkins could be resigned for only $5 mil per, I’m sure he would have jumped at it. Jenkins may have decided he was moving on. I think Vick is having a pull with players throughout the league, and Philadelphia is probably more enticing to younger, single players than Green Bay. Looks like GB and Philly banging heads in the NFC championship.

The sad news in Chicago that C Olin Kreutz is telling teammates he won’t be back. That will negatively affect team morale.

surprising

Maybe it’s just because I live in Chicago and have to put up with stupid Bears media and Bears fans that I notice this more, but I have never seen such a group of ridiculous fans. Every mediocre player who puts in one decent game becomes their “next stud.” Devin Aromashadu puts in one decent game vs the Vikings and they’re all like “Oh man we got another great receiver here!” Haha, how about not.

Another name that just hit me from the past was Al Afalava. He had a “great training camp” (seriously? What player doesn’t look good running around in half pads and during drills) and Bears fans were ready to install him as the next great NFL safety. What ever happened to that.

Then every year their free agent plan seems to be signing old busts who make the fans excited because, “Hey, I remember when Marion Barber was good and Amobi Okoye was a first round pick.”

I’ve never seen any fan base confuse their coaches for miracle workers so easily. All that crap about the great “Martz offense” If Martz was such the genius Bears fans claim him to be, he wouldn’t be on his third coordinator job in three years. I must have heard at least 10 times today from people, “Yeah I’m excited to see what Marinelli can do with Gholston.” How dumb is that. Rod Marinelli doesn’t possess some sort of magic touch that turns colossal busts into good football players. I’m sure coaching was really the problem in NY for him, that Rex Ryan wasn’t using him right, what does he no about defense.

So glad they have a fairly tough schedule this year. Would love nothing more than for them to go 7-9 so I can listen to the whining about Lovie, Cutler, and the rest of them the whole winter.

Not bad for someone that wasn’t able to do much the last few years. He could be relevent for the Broncos.

Perfect…I’d love it if he went there. Heck that is probably where he would have ended up if he hadn’t had to twitter about his meeting, except we would have gotten a pick out of the deal! :-)

Holy crap…I am glad its early in the day, that last picture of Davis would have haunted me in my sleep. What the hell happened to this guy, he looks like death.

That picture is now my new avatar thing for the Acme FF league! LOVE IT…

as long as Rodgers is healthy, all the Pack needs to do is make the playoffs (which shouldn’t be any problem this year) and they’ll have a good shot at winning it all
