Jenkins is finally off the board.
When NFL free agency first began, the Cincinnati Bengals reportedly had interest in offensive guard Teven Jenkins to bolster their offensive line.
However, Jenkins is going to another AFC North team.
According to Jordan Schultz, Jenkins is signing with the Cleveland Browns.
Jenkins has played four seasons in the NFL, all with the Chicago Bears. The Bears drafted him in the second round (39th overall) in the 2021 NFL Draft.
In four seasons with the Bears, Jenkins played in 45 games and started 38 of them. He was originally drafted as a tackle out of Oklahoma State, and the Bears moved him to right guard prior to the 2022 Season.
Jenkins moved to left guard prior to the 2023 season, playing 26 games and starting 25 over the last two seasons.
The former First-Team All-Big 12 selection, Jenkins earned a 75.4 overall PFF grade in 2024. Breaking it down, Jenkins graded out at 75.8 in pass blocking and 74.3 in run blocking.
In 738 snaps in 2024, Jenkins allowed four sacks and committed four penalties.
Jenkins was a prospect to watch going into the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, where the Bengals ultimately selected Jackson Carman from the Clemson Tigers. Carman is now no longer with the Bengals.
Alas, the Bengals’ search for guards continues.
