It’s not often a 34-year-old veteran is earmarked as a must-sign for a lot of football teams. But for the Las Vegas Raiders, bringing defensive tackle John Jenkins back into the fold should be a priority this offseason.
The 6-foot-3, 327-pound 11-year veteran shored up the nose tackle spot along the defensive line for the Silver & Black and played the most snaps of his career (594 which accounts for 52 percent of the total defensive snaps) this past season in Las Vegas.
Signed to a one-year $1,212,500-million deal ($150,000 guaranteed), the Raiders got bang for their buck as Jenkins served as the space-eating tackle in the middle.
