Report: Cullen Jenkins Is Open to Reunion with Green Bay Packers

Found March 08, 2013 on PPR Fantasy Football: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Cullen Jenkins,  Clay Matthews,  Chris Canty
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles,  Green Bay Packers,  New York Giants
If there is one thing no team in the NFL can never have enough of, it’s pass rushers and the Green Bay Packers are no exception. Outside of Clay Matthews, the team lacks a dominant pass rusher and now that former Packer defensive lineman Cullen Jenkins is back on the market, it could be a great opportunity for the team to add some much-needed juice to its interior pass rush. Jenkins came to the Packers as an un-drafted free agent in 2004 went onto start 66 games in seven seasons with the organization, eventually turning into a key player along the defensive line as he totaled 29 sacks, 188 tackles and six forced fumbles in seven seasons with the team. Following the Packers’ 2010 Super Bowl Championship, on which Jenkins was a key member, the former Central Michigan standout, left the team to sign a five-year $25 million deal with the Philadelphia Eagles. But two seasons and nine and a half sacks later, he was released and is now a free agent. Obviously, the Packers were mentioned as...

  • It would be great for the Packers to sign both Jenkins and Canty iff the price is right.

  • Yeah I think it would be really great too. I would be happy if they signed just one of those guys and then got another d-lineman in the draft.

Packing the Stats: Is Aaron Rodgers’ Time Ticking Away?

Via AllGreenBayPackers.com  |  March 07, 2013
In the shadow of the last two postseason losses, I’ve seen a number of Green Bay Packers fans itching for Ted Thompson to make some big roster moves. Their basic premise is that star quarterback Aaron Rodgers doesn’t have much time left to get to another Super Bowl. It’s either now or never if the team wants to make another serious run at it. Rodgers is, after all, turning...

Packers B.J. Raji in 2012: Warrior or Shrinking Violet?

Via AllGreenBayPackers.com  |  March 08, 2013
B.J. Raji From the time BJ Raji was drafted in 2009, I’ve taken a special interest in this player. Maybe because he’s from a local town here in NJ, maybe because I was hoping he would be one of the linchpins for Dom Caper’s new 3-4 defense – the next “Gravedigger.” I wrote a profile on Raji back in May of 2009, and later talked to some people who saw him in his HS playing...

Jermichael Finley’s agent says it’s not out of the realm to take a pay cut

Jermicheal Finley’s agent Blake Baratz did some damage control to keep his client comfy in Green Bay. Baratz reversed Finley’s comments that he wouldn’t accept a pay cut, stating that he is open to working with the Packers front office. “I would never just turn my nose up at anything. I will listen and hear anybody about anything and withhold judgment until I do. I...

Green Bay Packers: Team Needs in the 2013 NFL Draft

As we continue the Team Needs series for the 2013 NFL Draft, we proceed to the team with the twenty-sixth overall pick; the Green Bay Packers. It was just another double digit victory season and another division crown for the Pack. Unfortunately, the beating they took in the second round of the postseason is all that anyone will remember of their 2012 campaign. Aaron Rodgers once...

Packers legend Taylor living well at age 77

Via Fox Sports Wisconsin  |  March 07, 2013
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- It's been 46 years since Jim Taylor last stepped on the field in a Green Bay Packers uniform. Though the legendary and bruising fullback is far removed from plowing over oncoming defenders on game days, the 77-year-old is still running strong. He was participating in full marathons in his 50s and golfing in charity events almost nonstop. Taylor was engaged...

Ranking The Rookies: Jerron McMillian

Via Packer Update  |  March 09, 2013
Fourth-round safety played more than expected last season The Green Bay Packers began the season with 10 rookies on the 53-man roster. That’s a pretty high number – especially for a team than won 15 games the previous year. But GM Ted Thompson didn’t hang on to all those rookies to save money or to make himself look good. He kept them because they could play. In fact, seven...

Can Packers afford to stay the course?

Via Fox Sports Wisconsin  |  March 08, 2013
NFL free agency is not an event in Green Bay. Drama and anticipation don't exist when nearly every offseason concludes with a lack of noteworthy results. Since Ted Thompson took over as general manager of the Packers in 2005, he has mostly sat back and planned for the draft while many of his peers spend tens of millions of dollars on free agents. That's just not the Ted...

Packers Can Cut Finley With Little Worry

Via Losers Bracket  |  March 09, 2013
If Dustin Keller signs with the packers, we will anoint him as “Toolbox Too”. Get it?….like Teenwolf Too? Get It? it’s funny….like a big foam cowboy hat. Funny. It is obvious that Jermichael Finley does not fit the “Packer People” tune that Mike McCarthy sings.   With the departure of Donald Driver and impending departure of Greg Jennings, Packer nation is feeling...
