The Green Bay Packers (6-8) have locked up one of their key offensive linemen for the foreseeable future. According to NFL.com, the Packers have signed left guard Elgton Jenkins to a four-year, $68 million contract extension. The deal, which carries a max value of $74 million, makes Jenkins the second-highest-paid guard in the NFL behind Quenton Nelson of the Indianapolis Colts.
A second-round pick of the Packers in 2019 (44th overall), Jenkins has started 50 games across his four-year career in Green Bay. The 26-year-old was named to the NFL All-Rookie Team in his debut season before earning his first trip to the Pro Bowl the following year.
