The Giants waived veteran CB Janoris Jenkins on Friday, and sources tell Adam Schefter of ESPN.com that Jenkins is expected to land with a playoff contender shortly and could be playing as soon as next weekend.
The machinations of that remain a little unclear. If a team were to claim Jenkins off waivers, it would be responsible for the roughly $1.2MM that Jenkins is still owed for 2019, and it would technically be obligated to pay him $11.25MM in 2020, but that amount is completely non-guaranteed.
As such, a club that makes a claim on Jenkins is not putting itself at too much financial risk, though teams may prefer to wait until he clears waivers and sign him as a free agent. But as Schefter writes, if Jenkins clears waivers on Monday, he would revert to the Giants’ injured reserve list since he is nursing a minor ankle injury. That means that New York would have to waive him off of IR — which the team would be expected to do — but then Jenkins would be on waivers again until Tuesday.
Regardless, it sounds like the 31-year-old will generate plenty of interest, with the Texans and Chiefs named as potential landing spots. Jenkins logged 84 tackles and matched a career-high of four interceptions through 13 games this year, and across four years with the G-Men, Jackrabbit came away with 12 INTs and one Pro Bowl nod (2016).
He is better off.
Really…if you had or knew of someone who had a “challenged child” that was crudely referred to like Jack Rabbit did and then offered a ridiculous excuse for saying it….wonder how you might feel.
Your comment just goes to show the morality gorge in today’s society….this incident and your “pass” on his moronic comments, yet each and every other thing in todays society is judged and probably condemned in some fashion. Good luck with this scholar athlete who can’t spell cat if you gave him the c and t!
hahaha!! chill dude. you speak like he straight told a challenged individual directly. yes he messed up but no one died (sarcasm) too many times people look for extreams. and yes there are a couple of challenged individuals in my family. guess what, no one here is looking to destroy him
Its a word dude. Grow a pair.
Seattle needs the help. I can see him going there.
yes please
CHIEFS!!!
Oilers for life
So basically we have a jackrabbit hungry for some more lettuce.
DEFINITELY THE CHIEFS!!!!!!!
I wonder if New Orleans would stack up DB’s in an effort to solidify the back of the Defense. You can’t get any impact DL, like they lost. Grab a depth guy like N. Spence and make our secondary deep as possible. I’m not even sure this would work. But you have to try something, right??? Drew is running out of playoff runs! This team has gotten ZERO luck at the end of these last desperate attempts to bring another championship to New Orleans before Brees retires.
