As it stands right now, Cowboys corner Mike Jenkins will likely be either the third or fourth cornerback on the depth chart. The team signed Brandon Carr to a deal paying him over $10 million a year and they just drafted LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne. They also have Orlando Scandrick, who typically plays in the nickel.
As a former Pro Bowl corner and 1st round pick, it would be hard for Jenkins to swallow being the fourth corner on a team. Last year, the Cowboys took a lot of flack with much of the team's failures being placed on the secondary. The Cowboys responded by releasing Terrence Newman, signing Brandon Carr, and drafting Morris Claiborne. All of a sudden, they have a decent secondary. Unfortunately, someone may still have to go. That would probably be Jenkins.
He comes at a relative bargain, making just over $1 million this season. So it wouldn't be out of the question to keep him. Especially, with some of the production he posted in the past. The question is more whether he wants to stay.
