Overview
- ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the Packers are releasing two-time Pro Bowler Elgton Jenkins after seven seasons in Green Bay.
- The move creates $19.5 million in 2026 cap savings with a $4.8 million dead charge, according to Pro Football Talk.
- Jordan Schultz reported Green Bay explored a trade before the release and that Jenkins is expected to draw a strong free-agent market.
- Sean Rhyan, who replaced an injured Jenkins at center in 2025, agreed to a three-year, $33 million extension reported by NFL Network.
- On the same day, Schefter reported the Raiders signed Tyler Linderbaum to a three-year, $81 million contract with $60 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid interior offensive lineman and shaping demand for veterans such as Jenkins, with potential suitors speculated to include the Ravens, Browns, Texans and Titans.
