Apparently Adam Shefter of NFL Network just reported that the Jets and Panthers are in hot talks about DT Kris Jenkins. I don't have the NFL Network and therefore didn't see the report first-hand (talk to Best about that situation). But it's clear that if the Jets pursue Jenkins it will be at the behest of former Panthers PR man and current Jets PR honcho Bruce Speight.
Why else would the Jets be interested in a 6-4, 335-pound, 28-year-old, three-time Pro Bowler who would fit nicely in the middle of their 3-4 defense?
Oh yeah. Probably because he's a 6-4, 335-pound, 28-year-old, three-time Pro Bowler who would fit nicely in the middle of their 3-4 defense.
It's going to be a late night here in Jets land, and there's a pretty good chance that most of the fun stuff won't happen until after the newspaper deadlines have passed (free agency and trade period open at midnight), so check here and at newsday.com to stay updated.
