Should we re-sign Jenkins?

[dallasfan4lizife]

I've seen him make 1 play all season.

so hell no don't resign him. We need play makers, and currently sean lee is the only game changing playmaker

[Gameover]

No..why keep pumping money into this roster?

Hatcher found no takers when he hit the market so who knows. He might come back for one more year if nobody out there bites. I doubt he gets too much money since he's hardly played and hasnt shut too many guys in the few chances he's gotten so far. If I was Jerry and this happened where he could return rather cheaply I'd move Carr to FS and let Jenkins start at CB. Now if we can find an adequate solution at FS in the offseason then it's bye bye Jenkins.

Sometimes that's an indication that a corner is doing his job.

Jenkins is a very good pure cover corner. But if a guy is already making 'business decisions' at this stage his career, doubt he's gonna give you much after you make him a very rich man.

For that he will get a nice contract but not a premium one IMO. He doesn't tackle well and he doesn't stay healthy. He has not shown the ability to be a guy who works hard to improve in the off season and he has also not shown that he is a team guy.

[View Full Quote]I think the Cowboys will let him test the market and see what he brings. If the price is too steep, I think they will just let him walk. However, it really depends on a couple of things IMO. What do they think of Spencer and how badly do we want to keep him. What will Romo sign for and lastly, how much do we really like Jenkins? We could think about using a "none-exclusive" franchise tag on Jenkins which, as I understand it, consists of an average of the top 5 salaries at the players position over the last 5 years or 120% of the players current salary, which ever is greater. If a team then offers more, the Cowboys could elect to either match and keep or refuse to match, in which case, we would be entitled to two 1st Rd picks as compensation. Would depend on what the number of the top 5 salaries over the past 5 years works out to be and the other issues mentioned earlier.

great post... spot on

I don;t think the coaching staff believes he is soft. He played most of last year with a shoulder that needed reconstruction.

Say what you want about him, but soft guys don't gut it out like he did

Doubt it was for the best interest of the team as much as it was him knowing he doesn't want to get pegged injury riddled and he's better off fighting through the injury to not cost him some $$$ in the offseason.

They'll probably draft another CB in the 2nd or 3rd round. As long as a RG and C are drafted in the 1st or 2nd round I don't care!

[LarryCanadian]

Jenkins is talented, but probably not worth what he will cost.
Plus, we have far bigger needs elsewhere.
Plus, I truly think he doesn't want to be in Dallas, has a bit of an attitude (while not "bad" per se - he just doesn't seem an enthusiastic Cowboy or team guy- doesn't fit with a lot of the guys they are trying to bring in).
Overall, he just won't be a value re-signing for us, rather pick up someone else at another spot in free-agency.

[Hoofbite]

Only if dirt, dirt, dirt cheap.

There have been times where people say that you can't afford to spend too much at a single position and I've always disagreed because you should work to do what helps your team the most. If you have money tied up in the secondary and the secondary is still your biggest weakness, you're an idiot to let it continue to be the biggest weakness.

If Dallas had a stellar OL and a good DL or vice versa, sure. Sign him if the value is fair.

Dallas however has OL and DL that should be addressed first. Probably safety as well because they desperately need a guy who's a coverage specialist. I like Church so I'd be more inclined to part with Sensy if it meant that there was some top quality coverage replacing him. With other pressing needs, they can't afford to take any money from those needs just to have a 3rd CB that they like.

He's not physically soft but mentally he seems to be.

Kind of has the mentality that there's no sense in trying to stop a guy near the line because he's probably gonna get in anyway.

A "defeatist" attitude, if you will.

"He's gonna get in no matter what, I might as well just let up".

"Dallas signed and drafted a CB, no sense in trying to get my rehab in".

[dadymat]

No, he wont resign.....he will get PAID by another team and be a starter...and he will have a good career

Yep, I see that trend as well.

Having him on the team is a nice luxury that Dallas cant really afford with all the holes that need to be filled.

So on this board I've read that he was sitting out games this year to make more money next year. Now also that he played hurt last year to make more money in 2013.

Seems like we have another case of agenda vs. fact
