The first domino has fallen. Cullen Jenkins signed with the New York Giants on Sunday. Not surprisingly, the Green Bay Packers showed no interest. His deal may ultimately set the market for other defensive linemen, though.

Cullen Jenkins probably wished he was still with the Green Bay Packers right now. Jenkins got into a sideline fight with coach Andy Reid during the Philadelphia Eagles preseason game Monday night.

Defensive end Cullen Jenkins, once thought to be a potential cap casualty, restructured his contract to stay with the Philadelphia Eagles. Jenkins now says he wants to retire an Eagle. There will be no teary reunion in Green Bay.

The Green Bay Packers let defensive end Cullen Jenkins sign with the Philadelphia Eagles in free agency. For Philadelphia, it’s one in a series of moves designed to stop Aaron Rodgers & Co.

The Chicago Bears aren’t the only team aiming to sign Green Bay Packers defensive end Cullen Jenkins. The Washington Redskins are reportedly interested as well. Jenkins will be a free agent when the NFL’s offseason finally begins. The Packers have expressed no interest in re-signing the veteran, even though he’s coming off a season where he recorded a career-high seven sacks.

It’s now a foregone conclusion defensive end Cullen Jenkins, who will be a free agent when the lockout ends, has played his last game for the Green Bay Packers. General manager Ted Thompson made no effort to sign Jenkins to a contract extension, even when Jenkins’ agent approached the team before the start of the 2010 season. On Wednesday, Jenkins, who had a career-high seven sacks in 2010, revealed he would have taken less money to remain in Green Bay.

The Chicago Bears will target Green Bay Packers defensive end Cullen Jenkins whenever free agency begins, according to John Mullin of CSN Chicago. The Bears are looking to improve their defensive line and after re-signing defensive tackle Anthony Adams, Jenkins will be the team’s second priority.

There’s speculation Johnny Jolly’s second arrest for codeine possession, which put his NFL career in serious jeopardy, will force the Green Bay Packers to reevaluate re-signing defensive end Cullen Jenkins. Jenkins, who had seven sacks in 11 games in 2010, will be one of the most sought-after defensive free agents whenever free agency begins.

As far as he’s concerned, Cullen Jenkins’ career with the Green Bay Packers is over.

He’s a little bitter about it too.

The Packers did not use their franchise or transition tags — the deadline to use them was Thursday — and the team hasn’t approached Jenkins about a new contract.

While several NFL teams have been slapping the franchise tag on their players, the Green Bay Packers won’t be using theirs.

There was speculation the Packers might use the tag on defensive end Cullen Jenkins or kicker Mason Crosby, both pending free agents, but Ted Thompson obviously thought the cost was too great.
