Jenkins to the Giants

Giants Grab Cullen Jenkins

 

First notable signing for the Giants this offseason. With the release of Canty, it is a much needed acquisition.  Played for the rival Eagles for the past 2 years. Started all 16 each year. Seems to have had his best year with the Packers in their 3-4 defense as a DE in 2010 with 7 sacks in 11 games. Will give the Giants a nice boost in run defense, one of the biggest problems for Big Blue last year.

 

The numbers on the contract: 3 yr/$8m deal with $2m upfront and $3 guaranteed.

 

Happy to see the Giants are bringing outsiders in. That defensive line defintely needed a boost, and Jenkins can provide that.

 

Before the deal the Giants were $10.5 mil below the cap. Should still have room to get more accomplished this off season.
