Dallas Cowboys cornerback Mike Jenkins won't be attending organized team activities when they begin Tuesday, a source with knowledge of Jenkins' situation said. He is rehabbing his shoulder after offseason surgery, so he would not have been able to participate in the on-field portions, anyway.

But staying away from the workouts -- which are voluntary -- is a choice Jenkins is making. He has also not been around the team during offseason conditioning.

Jenkins is hopeful of being traded, a source said, especially after the team picked Morris Claiborne with the sixth overall pick of the draft and signed free-agent Brandon Carr . Jenkins is due $1.05 million in the final year of his contract, but he'd like a new deal.

According to?

Edit : My apologies. I missed Ian R.

 

[Risen Star]

Awesome. We're already reaping the rewards of the Claiborne trade up.

I'd trade him if we could get fair value, but i don't think that's possible right now. He has a lot of value for us staying here this season.

Want in one hand and poop in the other Jenksey.

 

[Tabascocat]

If this is true, then Vaya con dios!

That attitude needs to be removed from the locker room regardless if his depth is needed this season.

Like I said, IF. Don't want to jump to pre-mature conclusions yet.

 

[Avenger]

I knew Jenkins was too cowardly to compete.

 

[cowboy_ron]

There won't be a long line wanting to sign a pouting, CB with a bum shoulder that won't rehab and showing he's not a team player

 

[TheSport78]

And some of you guys wanted to sign this guy long term? Pssh. Unless we get a 3rd round pick, a solid center or even a tight end, I say keep him and let him pout.

All good.

 

[Doomsday101]

Awesome. We're already reaping the rewards of the Claiborne trade up.

I like jenkins but not thrilled about a player not willing to accept competition. We moverd up and got the best defensive player in the draft by many accounts if that makes you upset so be it.

 

[Idgit]

Idiot. Not showing up for my OTAs isn't going to get me working on trade options any harder, I can tell you that.

If I were a trade partner, not being a team player while under contract isn't something that's going to get me to pay a premium.

That said, this will be a non-issue by the time the games start. Jenkins has 0 leverage here.

At this point he's turning into a cancer..JG won't have that around the new guys..my guess is he'll be cut at some point

What's the value in cutting him though? The Cowboys hold all of the cards in the situation.

I'd make his *** sit the whole season. Then let him go via free agency. There's no room for people like him on a football team.

Can he be placed on the practice squad for a year?

 

[casmith07]

Mentally weak. Get him out of here.

The only value is that they will not want his negativity spreading throughout the locker room.

I agree, he has no leverage here. Coming off a serious injury, bad attitude, no one will make a trade for him ATM.

 

[The30YardSlant]

I hope he realizes that he currently has no trade value.

 

[casmith07]

They better not cut him. Getting a compensatory pick is beneficial for the team.
