Agreed. Depending on what we do with pick movement, we need around $5 M to sign our picks and undrafted FA's. Something still needs to happen with Harper's contract before we can even discuss another signing.

With that said, if we can free up space with Harper, I am not opposed to Jenkins. His value is at it's absolute lowest right now. The bad part is, he's played for Ryan, sucked terribly after his rookie year and seems like a corner with no confidence. He may return to form but getting familiar scheme and coaching may not allow that to happen. If he was near minimum on a performance based structure I would be on board. Corner depth is crucial.

But I do agree with the sentiment that pass rush is most important to our defense.
