Packers OL Elgton Jenkins reporting to mandatory minicamp, unlikely to practice
Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins is reporting to mandatory minicamp this week but is not expected to practice, according to reporting from Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Jenkins, who is transitioning to the center position for 2025, wants a reworked contract and has skipped the rest of the offseason workout program.
Players who miss mandatory minicamp are subject to escalating fines across the three days. The Packers' minicamp runs from June 10-12.
It can be assumed Jenkins is attending the minicamp to avoid the fines but will not participate to avoid risking a serious injury and jeopardizing the contract negotiations.
The Packers signed Aaron Banks to a big deal and let Josh Myers walk in free agency, creating a position change for Jenkins, who has played every offensive line position at the NFL level. But with two years left on his deal, Jenkins is seeking financial assurances from the Packers before moving from guard to a less lucrative position at center.
Jenkins has already forfeited a $500,000 bonus for attending the offseason workout program. His base salary is set to be $11.7 million in 2025 and $18.5 million in 2026, but both are non-guaranteed.
Jenkins was the team's preferred starter at left guard last season. He received All-Pro votes at guard and has twice been a Pro Bowler while playing guard.

NFL Legend Puts Jerry Jones On Blast For Questionable Behavior
NFL Legend Puts Jerry Jones On Blast For Questionable Behavior originally appeared on The Spun. Jerry Jones just can't seem to help himself sometimes and that was the case during Monday's media session in Oxnard. With Cowboys training camp officially kicking off and Micah Parsons in the building, Jones spoke on where the team is at with paying their All-Pro linebacker while also (incorrectly) pointing out the time he and Dak Prescott missed last year. "Just because we sign him doesn't mean we're going to have him," the Dallas owner admitted. "He missed six [four] games last year, seriously. ... I remember signing a player for the highest-paid at the position in the league and he got knocked out two-thirds of the year — Dak Prescott." Jones' remarks drew a response from former three-time Defensive Player of the Year J.J. Watt who didn't particularly care for what Jerry had to say to start the week. "Anytime you can publicly take a dig at your star quarterback and your star pass rusher simultaneously, right before the season begins, you just gotta take it…" Watt replied on X. "Nothing makes guys want to fight for you more than hearing how upset you are that they got hurt while fighting for you." J.J.'s comments were reposted by Micah Parsons' account shortly after they went up so clearly the four-time Pro Bowler appreciated what Watt had to say. This is far from the first time Jerry Jones has stepped in it when discussing ongoing contract negotiations with one of his players. But it feels like a lot of bluster for something that's going to be Legend Puts Jerry Jones On Blast For Questionable Behavior first appeared on The Spun on Jul 21, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 21, 2025, where it first appeared.

Dak Prescott's Fiancee Turns Heads At Cowboys Training Camp
Dak Prescott's Fiancee Turns Heads At Cowboys Training Camp originally appeared on The Spun. The Dallas Cowboys may be holding their training camp in Oxnard, but looking at Dak Prescott's fiancee you'd never think they left the Lone Star State. On Tuesday, the QB and his significant other shared a wholesome moment with their oldest daughter at the team's practice. However, its her cow-spotted getup that had fans talking. Dak and Sarah welcomed a second daughter back in May named Aurora Rayne. Two years ago, the couple had baby Margaret who Prescott credits for his near-MVP season in 2023. "It's dad strength is why I'm playing that way," Prescott said at the time. "Super exciting, it really is ... I'm blessed. Thankful. Everyone knows what my mom means to me. Being able to raise a little girl, I'm excited for the challenges. It's not going to be easy, especially being my daughter — or being a Prescott — but I'm looking forward to every bit about it." Dak will be hoping for similar results this fall after seeing his season end prematurely with a pretty severe hamstring avulsion that required him to go under the knife. And after signing a record-breaking $240 million last year, the three-time Pro Bowler knows he has to deliver the goods for Dallas when it matters most — in the playoffs. "[Criticism] comes with the territory. That comes with the $60 million," he told AllCity DLLS Monday. "Nobody wants to win more than me ... but at the end of the day, the quarterback is paid to fill in those gaps, and when you're not playing well, to understand that and to bring the team back. And have I done that when I needed to? Absolutely not in those crucial times. And if I had, the record wouldn't be 2-5." Expectations are fairly mild for the Cowboys in 2025, so we'll see if they can surprise some people its time to actually play the Prescott's Fiancee Turns Heads At Cowboys Training Camp first appeared on The Spun on Jul 22, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 22, 2025, where it first appeared.
