The Packers announced the four-year extension for guard Elglton Jenkins on Friday, making official what was reported earlier in the day.
Via Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com, head coach Matt LaFleur said in his press conference, “It’s a great day for us, a great day for Elgton. Obviously he’s earned it. He’s done it the right away.”
General Manager Brian Gutekunst added more in a statement released by the team.
“We are very excited to be able to come to an agreement that keeps Elgton with the Packers,” Gutekunst said. “Since the moment he walked into the building, Elgton has been a core member of this franchise while displaying an uncommon versatility, unselfishness and toughness.
