Defensive lineman Cullen Jenkins will be remaining in the NFC East.
According to multiple reports, Jenkins, who played for the Giants the last three seasons and was with the Eagles for the two years before that, has agreed to a one-year deal with the Redskins. Reports on Monday morning had Jenkins headed to Washington for a workout with the team.
Jenkins had 26 tackles and three sacks in 16 games and 13 starts for the Giants last season and has been a starter for much of the last decade while with the Giants, Eagles and Packers. He has been a useful pass rusher on the interior of the line for all three teams and has 47.5 sacks since entering the league in 2004.
Jenkins will join a Redskins defensive line group that currently includes Ricky Jean-Francois, Kedric Golston, Chris Baker, Stephen Paea, Kendall Reyes and 2016 fifth-round pick Matt Ioannidis on the top two lines of their depth chart.
