DawgTalkers.net Forums Thread Like Summary - Browns Sign Guard Tevin Jenkins

2nd Round pick in 2021 of the Chicago Bears. Has played and started in quite a few games. He grades out well in PFF but is injury prone and has missed quite a bit of time. He is known as a mauler when on the field. Is this a flier on a 27-year-old? Or a signing before making a trade dealing perhaps Teller? Jenkins has also started games for the Bears at Left Tackle. So, like Bitonio he has ability to move outside in a pinch. My thought is whether a flier to see who he is, or attempting to get younger and replacing Teller if he can stay healthy he should be a good pick up.

Void years do not mean the player is still on the team. In fact, it's the opposite (unless a contract is renegotiated).

Void years are a way for GM's to lower the cap hit. Players like it because they get more cash up front and don't have to pay back bonuses if they retire, are injured, or get cut etc.
