Packers Star Seeking a New Contract, Is Not Attending Green Bay’s Mandatory Minicamp

Green Bay, WI – June 14, 2025

The Green Bay Packers’ mandatory minicamp kicked off on Wednesday with a notable absence, as star offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins skipped the session amid a contract dispute, sources told ESPN. The standoff has left fans concerned.

Jenkins, 30, is pushing for a restructured deal on his four-year, $68 million contract signed in 2022. His absence from minicamp signals leverage in negotiations with the team’s front office (Pro-Football-Reference). The versatile lineman, who transitioned to center this season, has been a cornerstone since 2019, starting 77 games. However, his current contract lacks guaranteed money beyond 2023, fueling his demands (Spotrac).

Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst confirmed the situation: “We’re in discussions, but Elgton has made his stance clear by not showing up.” Jenkins’ decision to sit out mirrors moves by other stars like TJ Watt (NFL.com). Fans on X are divided: “Jenkins deserves more—stand your ground!” one tweeted. Another worried, “Don’t risk your spot, Elgton!” The situation adds to the off-season chaos.

With a 2025 cap hit of $19 million, Jenkins’ contract could be cut post-season to save $20 million, putting pressure on him to secure financial stability now. His shift to center, replacing Josh Myers, further highlights his value (ESPN). With $46 million in cap space after Jaire Alexander’s departure, the Packers have room to adjust. Head Coach Matt LaFleur remains optimistic about resolving the issue before training camp (Packers.com).

As minicamp progresses, Jenkins’ absence will test the team’s cohesion. Will he force a new deal, or will this delay his preparation for 2025? Stay tuned to ESPN for the latest updates.

Bills WR Officially Benched After Repeatedly Showing Up Late to Team Meetings - This Is His Fifth Time Being Late, He Was Reportedly Intoxicated
SHOCKING news out of Orchard Park: The Buffalo Bills have indefinitely benched their former second-round wide receiver after yet another disciplinary incident. Sources inside One Bills Drive confirm this marks the FIFTH time in the 2025 season the player has been late to a team meeting — and the latest offense was the final straw: he reportedly showed up reeking of alcohol. Moments after Monday’s team meeting, head coach Sean McDermott addressed the media with a tone that left no room for interpretation: “The Buffalo Bills will not tolerate disrespect toward this football team, disrespect toward your teammates, and disrespect toward yourself. We’ve given chances, we’ve had private conversations, we’ve done everything we can. At this point, enough is enough. When you walk into this building, you represent an entire city and an entire fan base. We cannot and will not accept this any longer.” That player? None other than Keon Coleman — the once-hyped Florida State product drafted in the second round of 2024 to be Josh Allen’s next big-play weapon. From “generational talent” to full-blown headache in less than two seasons: Incidents 1–2: Late to meetings → internal warnings Incident 3: Benched for two full games in November 2025 Incident 4: Seen dancing on the sideline while serving that benching Incident 5: Showed up late AGAIN… and allegedly intoxicated → indefinitely removed from the active roster Just weeks ago, Bills Hall of Famer Andre Reed spent nearly two hours on the phone trying to mentor the 22-year-old, but it now appears the message fell on deaf ears. With no Bills receiver currently on pace for even 760 yards this season and the room already paper-thin after the Amari Cooper and Brandin Cooks additions, losing Keon Coleman — even for non-football reasons — is a gut punch. Bills Mafia is LIVID. Many are already calling for the front office to cut their losses, just like they did with first-round bust Kaiir Elam and second-round flop Boogie Basham. The million-dollar question now: Is this the end of Keon Coleman in Buffalo, or will Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane give him one final lifeline? Drop your take in the comments: Keep Keon and hope he grows up… or ship him out TODAY? 👇🔥
