Why? Do you think he will want to much $$$. With a decent contract he is still better than 75% of the Safeties in the league. Take teams like San Fran, Seattle and Carolina and their safeties are helped by those D-Lines/LBs. Of course they look pretty. And Seattle has better CBs that help their Safeties way too much. Put Jenk on one of those teams and he would be a superstar.

Christ, how many times do I have to post the stuff I am going to post...

Jenkins is among the worst safeties in the NFL. How some fans that watch every game miss the fact he never make plays in coverage and can't tackle is remarkable. Jenkins won't be cut, he is a free agent and shouldn't be back.

Jenkins is awful but don't take my word for it...

Here is PFF from 2012: "Jenkins graded 42nd overall, or totally middle of the road, with a negative grade. There's 64 starting safeties in the NFL"

Here is PFF from 2012: Jenkins was ranked 88th out of 88 grade safeties. Thats right Jenkins was the worst safety in the league...

Here is a list of all FA safeties available with their grades by PFF:

Out of 46 FA safeties Jenkins is 41st with a -6.0 rating. Thats just the FAs... He is trash, Harper is more useful than Jenkins...FFS

Again, you're using 2012 grades. Not smart.

Seriously; using 2012 as a basis for defensive stats...

Yet you completely ignore the 2011 and 2013 grades that are in the post... You can choose to be ignorant I guess.

So 2011 counts when we had a different coordinator and a totally different scheme?

Same player being asked to do the same things.

Jenkins over the last 3 years has had 3 different DCs. Each year he has graded out as awful... under Rob Ryan he grades out as -6.0 which is among the NFLs worst safeties... care to go on?

But yet, he still starts... Apparently he's doing something right...

Pretty simple, without a pass rush, safeties often get burned. Watch more football.

Btw, I'm not a huge Jenkins fan either, but using 2012 stats for anything is shortsighted. Greer and Hawthorne graded horribly too. How'd they work out this year?
