Cowboys Mike Jenkins on the Trading Block

BeastBeach · May 21, 2012

Cowboys coach Jason Garrett is hopeful that cornerback Mike Jenkins will join the team at organized team activities on Tuesday, but it seems that his hopes will be dashed.

Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that Jenkins will not be showing up on Tuesday and that he wants to be traded away from the Cowboys. By signing Brandon Carr and drafting Morris Claiborne, the Cowboys have pushed Jenkins to third on the depth chart and there’s not much chance he’s going to get an extension from a team that’s already spending a fair amount on Carr, Claiborne and Orlando Scandrick.

Jenkins was shopped during the draft, but the Cowboys didn’t find a deal that made them pull the trigger. Since then they have been talking up their depth at corner, something that doesn’t seem to have struck any heart strings for Jenkins. Jenkins is set to make $1.052 million in 2012, a number that makes it much easier to consider keeping him as a third corner and letting him walk after the season.

Jenkins had shoulder surgery after last season which would have kept him out of OTAs even if he showed up. Neither the injury nor his desire for a new deal will make Jenkins any easier for the Cowboys to deal unless their asking price is on the modest side.

How do you figure?

Jerry Jones said he wasn't gonna trade Jenkins. Then he was. Then he wasn't. My guess is that Jones wants too much for Jenkins.

^I lol'd because I saw that the Colts were interested and then like 10 min later I saw that the Cowboys didn't want to trade him

I don't think they should trade him yet anyways. It is a mistake to assume that Claiborne is going to be able to be an effective starter immediately

Jenkins is only making a small amount so they should keep him up to the trade deadline and then trade him to a team that has injuries and get them to overpay.
