Disgruntled Packers C Elgton Jenkins at camp, not practicing

Packers center Elgton Jenkins plans to attend mandatory minicamp in Green Bay, although participation is an entirely different story, according to multiple reports Monday.Seeking an adjusted contract to reflect the current market for his new position, Jenkins has been distant from the team since the start of the offseason. He’s moving from guard to center and while he said last season he’s amenable to a move, he wants to be paid for his versatility after logging important snaps at tackle and guard in previous seasons.Jenkins has two years remaining on a four-year, $68 million contract signed in 2022, but none of it is guaranteed.NFL Network reported Monday it’s unlikely Jenkins will practice without financial guarantees for injury in his contract.Packers offensive coordinator Andy Stenavich said after the draft Jenkins was on board with the position switch, but ESPN reported Jenkins wants the security of guarantees or a new deal to make the move.At an average annual salary of $17 million per year, Jenkins’ current deal would make him the second-highest-paid center in the NFL — tied with Cam Jurgens (Eagles) — behind only Chiefs All-Pro Creed Humphrey ($18 million).
