The Chicken Littles of the forum keep life hilarious though. I MEAN COME ON, THE WINDOW HAS CLOSED!

That's the same attitude that gives up games for higher draft order.

It also very much puts him in contrast to the elite NFL players in terms of mindset. Elite players in their prime hope to go to a team that they can make winners, they don't hope to go to a winning team so they can reap the benefits of others making then winners.

Keep Jenkins and Strief at lower salaries. Jenkins would make a good nickel or backup safety, he's big. Strief gives us depth on the line
