Two-time Pro Bowl OL Elgton Jenkins is signing with the Browns on a two-year, $24 million deal with $20M guaranteed, sources tell me and @RapSheet.
A day his release from Green Bay, Jenkins heads to Cleveland on a deal negotiated by Damarius Bilbo of @KlutchSports
The Browns agreed to terms with Jenkins a day after the Green Bay Packers released the interior lineman. NFL writer Jason B. Hirschhorn reported Tuesday that Jenkins’s release came with a failed-physical designation.
In seven seasons with the Packers, Jenkins played several different positions along the offensive line. Last season, he primarily switched to center, but that transition didn’t go particularly well.
Jenkins then suffered a lower-leg injury during Week 10.
But while playing guard, Jenkins made the Pro Bowl twice early in his career during the 2020 and 2022 campaigns.
