Nope. Seriously though, I appreciate the pick six vs Dallas and the forced fumble vs the tacks, but those two plays aren’t enough to pay him 10.5 million dollars this year when we have a similar player on the team for 3 million and we are up against the cap. Wingard’s punch out vs Baltimore and his pick vs the tacks were huge plays as well. The playoff run probably doesn’t happen without those plays either. Shaq Quaterman’s forced fumble on Henry was arguably the play that changed the momentum of the entire season. The reason we are paying Jenkins so much is because we signed him at a time when we had to pay average players like all pros to get them to come to the worst team in the league. That isn’t the case right now, and the contract is constructed in a way that we have an out, so in my opinion we shouldn’t over pay him anymore.

Those 2 plays? 

Jenkins had a franchise record 18 tackles @ Dallas along with 2 interceptions and 1 TD which came in overtime. 

He also had a big interception in Indy in week 2 which came in the 1st quarter when the score was 0-0. He forced a fumble against Baltimore, had a 4th down stop against Houston in the 2nd game. Forced fumble against Tennessee. 

100+ tackles, 3 ints, 1 sack, 3 FF and 1 TD. That’s big time production. I was all for cutting Jenkins until the Dallas game, and then all of a sudden he turned up.

I think Jenkins is going to be a tough decision.
