The Green Bay Packers’ guard-turned-center Elgton Jenkins wanted a new contract this offseason, which is why he never took a snap with the team this summer until Monday, when he was activated off the non-football injury list. That is truth.
What I will push back on, though, is this narrative that Jenkins’ contract issue stemmed from what type of money he’ll make at the center position compared to guard.
Below is a tweet from Sports Illustrated’s Bill Huber, who I believe is one of the two best reporters on the Packers’ beat, stating that a core issue in Jenkins’ situation is the guard versus center disparity.
