Bears moving on from veteran guard Teven Jenkins
The Chicago Bears are making significant changes to their team under new head coach Ben Johnson. One of the notable players not expected to return is left guard Teven Jenkins. The Bears have already signed Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson to fill the guard positions. Teven Jenkins has had a mixed performance during his time in Chicago. He was drafted as a tackle but moved to guard. He showed some productivity in 45 games, but injuries have affected his playtime. Currently, Jenkins is exploring options for his future. Last week, he visited the Seattle Seahawks. The Bears and the Cincinnati Bengals are also interested in him. According to an NFL analyst, the Seahawks are the best fit for Jenkins. They have more salary cap space and need a strong pass-blocking guard after losing Laken Tomlinson to the Texans. Jenkins has solid statistics, allowing only four sacks in 738 snaps. He has a low blown block rate, which are good numbers for a starter in the NFL. Spotrac estimates that he could sign a three-year contract worth $31 million. Fans will be watching to see where Jenkins ends up and how his deal compares to others in the market.
