Raiders Re-Signing DT John Jenkins

It’s a one-year deal worth up to $3.25 million for Jenkins, per Wilson, which is a solid deal at this stage in the veteran’s career. 

He had some interest from the Dolphins and took a free agent visit with them this past week before returning to Las Vegas. 

Jenkins, 34, is a former third-round pick of the Saints back in 2013. Jenkins spent three years in New Orleans before he was waived during the 2016 season.

From there, Jenkins played for a number of teams including the Seahawks, Giants, Dolphins and Bears. Chicago re-signed him to a one-year deal in 2020 before Jenkins signed with Miami in 2021. He re-signed to the Dolphins on a one-year deal in 2022 before joining the Raiders in 2023. 

In 2023, Jenkins appeared in all 17 games for the Raiders and recorded 61 total tackles, four tackles for loss, one sack, one fumble recovery returned 44 yards for a touchdown, and four pass deflections.
