The Redskins are "closing in" on a deal for free agent DE Cullen Jenkins, according to ProFootballTalk.
The deal isn't done yet, but we'd expect it to be finalized soon. The Redskins are yet to make their trademark big splash in free agency and landing the prototypical 3-4 end would be a start. Jenkins had seven sacks in 11 regular season games last year and was a key piece of the Packers' Super Bowl run.

When word broke that the Redskins have signed defensive end Stephen Bowen, some fans were intrigued about the possibility that Bowen would be joined by Cullen Jenkins.
Instead, we’re now told the Jenkins talks are dead.
As we understand it, a handshake deal was close if not done. Something happened to prompt the Redskins to go for Bowen instead.

Why? So that you can watch him in street clothes on the sidelines when he inevitably gets injured?

Bowen is younger and health, might have dodged a bullet here

AGREED - I was never really liking the thought that we were possibly bringing in ANOTHER player with a lot of 'issues'
these guys are doing fairly well .... so far
