0 views

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.

CHIEFS INJURY "LEAKED": HOW JAGUARS WILL EXPLOIT CB FULTON'S WEAKNESS?
KANSAS CITY – While all eyes were on the lengthy Jacksonville Jaguars injury list, it’s the Kansas City Chiefs' seemingly "clean" report that presents the real danger. With Monday night looming, the release of the Chiefs' injury status is not just transparency—it is an accidental disclosure of the single, exploitable Achilles' Heel that the Jaguars can capitalize on. Don’t just watch the game — live it! Get your gear featuring the logo of your favorite team. Limited stock — don’t miss out! 👉 [SHOP NOW] The Information Leak Disaster: CB Kristian Fulton The official report shows nearly the entire Chiefs roster practicing in full. Patrick Mahomes (groin) and key Receivers like Marquise Brown and Xavier Worthy are healthy. But there is one sole player listed with a limitation: Cornerback Kristian Fulton (ankle), who has been sidelined since Week 2 and remains a limited practice participant. This is the horrifying implication: The Chiefs have one clear, known weakness, and that weakness is now public information. The Jaguars don't have to guess. They know exactly who their target must be on every possession. How will Jaguars "Exploit" this? If Fulton plays, even at 80%, the Jaguars' coaching staff can relentlessly scheme plays toward his coverage zone, forcing him to work overtime on an ankle that is not fully recovered. If he sits, the Chiefs' depth chart at the position will face unprecedented pressure. A Strategic Gift to Jacksonville Meanwhile, the Jaguars are indeed struggling with injuries on their Offensive Line (five linemen limited) and the uncertainty surrounding star defensive end Travon Walker. Jacksonville's situation is messy. But this chaos creates unpredictable danger. They have nothing to lose, and they know they only need to neutralize one spot to unlock the Chiefs’ defense. “A public weakness is the deadliest trap. The Chiefs are walking into a high-stakes information warfare battle,” – the public acknowledgment of Fulton's status has inadvertently gifted Trevor Lawrence an invaluable mental and tactical edge. Monday night is not just a physical contest; it's a battle of wits: Can the Chiefs hide their vulnerability, or will the Jaguars exploit the leak in this high-risk matchup?
