Packers OL Elgton Jenkins skips workouts in reported contract rift

Two-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins is skipping workouts with the Packers in a reported contract rift.Jenkins, who is making the transition from left guard to center and has also logged snaps at tackle, has two years remaining on a four-year, $68 million contract signed in 2022.Packers offensive coordinator Andy Stenavich said Monday that Jenkins is on board with the position switch. ESPN, citing sources, reported Jenkins believes it should come with more financial security. He has no remaining guaranteed money on his contract.At an average annual salary of $17 million per year, Jenkins’ current deal would make him the second-highest-paid center in the NFL along with Cam Jurgens (Eagles), behind only Chiefs All-Pro Creed Humphrey ($18 million).Jenkins turns 30 in December and bumps inside to make room for free agent addition Aaron Banks to play left guard. The Packers also selected Anthony Belton (55th overall) and seventh-rounder John Williams in their 2025 draft class.
