The Ravens signed Jenkins to a one-year contract Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Jenkins is a veteran of 13 NFL campaigns who played the previous two years with Las Vegas. He logged a career-high 581 defensive snaps while starting all 17 regular-season games with the Raiders last year, totaling 46 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and two defensed passes. Baltimore is set up front with Nnamdi Madubuike, Travis Jones and Broderick Washington, so Jenkins will likely work in a rotational role with his new squad.

Jenkins finished 2024 with 46 tackles (13 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two pass breakups across 17 games with Las Vegas.
EDGE Analysis
Jenkins, now 35 years old, started all 17 games for the Raiders for the second straight season. Jenkins' best ability has been his availability in recent seasons after struggling mightily to stay healthy for much of the prior six campaigns. Jenkins doesn't do anything special inside on the defensive line, but he's big and can clog space at 6-foot-3 and 327 pounds. Jenkins is scheduled to become a free agent in March. He'll likely again have to settle for a one-year contract.

Jenkins re-signed with the Raiders on Sunday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jenkins logged career highs in both tackles (61) and passes defended (four) during his first season with the Raiders last year. The 359-pound defensive tackle spent three of the previous four seasons with the Dolphins, and he was reportedly hosted for a visit by the team last week, per Jackson. However, Jenkins ultimately will head back to the Raiders on a one-year deal worth $3.25 million, according to Amber Wilson of ESPN. Jenkins has played for seven different teams during his 12-year career, and he will enter his age-35 season in 2024.

Jenkins (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday after testing positive for the Virus, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jenkins' potential absence Sunday against the Titans would be a blow to the Dolphins' defensive line depth. However, if he is vaccinated, he could clear protocols by producing two negative tests more than 24 hours apart.

Jenkins is expected to have an increased role in the coming weeks after Raekwon Davis (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jenkins filled in for Davis for most of Sunday's season opener, and he was on the field for 60 percent of the team's defensive snaps. He racked up four solo tackles in the win over the Patriots and will attempt to build on his production since Davis will miss at least three weeks.

The Dolphins signed Jenkins to a one-year deal Thursday, Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
In Jenkins' 11 contests during the 2020 campaign, he posted 21 tackles (14 solo) and one pass breakup with the Bears. Previous to his time in Chicago, the veteran nose tackle played 16 games with Miami in 2019. Jenkins will likely boost depth on the team's defensive line this coming coming season.

Jenkins recorded 21 tackles over 11 games for the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
In his age-30 season, Jenkins played 254 snaps in a rotational role and averaged 1.9 tackles over 11 games. He's an unrestricted free agent, and he'll likely continue to be a rotational player at defensive tackle with minimal fantasy value.
