Jenkins Looking to Cash In as Free Agent

The Rams' latest offer to Jenkins was a five-year, $45 million deal he called "unacceptable," per Cole. The cornerback is expected to hire Neil Schwartz and Jonathan Feinsod, who Cole called "very hard-lined negotiators in the past."

Brian Witherspoon, a former NFL cornerback and kick returner, apparently thinks Jenkins should have accepted the deal the Rams offered:

At $9 million per season, Jenkins would still be well below the top cornerbacks in the NFL, including the New York Jets' Darrelle Revis, who is tops in the league at $14.024 million and also is represented by Schwartz and Feinsod.

Jenkins made $1.6 million in total last season and is coming off a 2015 campaign where he intercepted three passes and defended another 15. He has yet to match his rookie season in 2012 after he snagged four interceptions, scored four defensive touchdowns, defended 14 passes, forced three fumbles and had 73 total tackles. 

Even though his numbers have dipped a bit, it would have been hard to match that 2012 season. He does have 10 career interceptions and six touchdowns, and he is just now entering the prime of his career at 27 years old.
