DT JENKINS TRADE?: Carolina Panthers DT Kris Jenkins' agent is still pushing to get his client traded. The Panthers were trying to move him before the draft, but wanted a first round pick for the former Pro Bowl DT. You won't be shocked to know his agent is Drew Rosenhaus. The Bills certainly have a need at the nose tackle spot, and Jenkins is the best available option out there right now.
You've got to imagine that the Panthers asking price would come down, especially for a DT that only played in five games in 2004 and 2005 after two consecutive knee injuries. He did play in all 16 games last season. The Panthers have a log jam at DT so Jenkins is expendable.
The injury history is a concern no question as are the reports that he's overweight. He has three years left on his contract and is making good money. He's set to earn $3.2M in base salary this year.
It would be a big investment and a team would have to likely give up something substantial to get him. But he doesn't turn 28 until August. I think it's worth investigating further.
Just speculation but I don't know if we could fit him under our self imposed cash to cap limit. The need is obvious and we do have that extra 3rd rounder next year. Hmmm..
Salary dumps would be needed. Anderson and Peerless would be a good start.
Why not try ?

As long as we do something to improve on the DT's we already have. I want a star not a hard worker.
