As the trade deadline approached this season, the New York Giants elected to keep veteran cornerback Janoris Jenkins. They believed he would be a vital piece to the puzzle moving forward. He still has one-year remaining on his contract, worth $14.75 million in 2020. Jenkins would only count $3.5 million in dead-cap, though, which could make him a casualty in that respect. However, his latest antics could have sealed his fate.
General manager Dave Gettleman needs to begin cracking down on players making poor decisions via social media or lacking effort during games. Jenkins has been reprimanded for both, as he failed to attempt a tackle on a touchdown in week 10 against the Cowboys and then attacked a fan via Twitter during live-practice on Wednesday.
