Elgton Jenkins has agreed to a four-year extension with the Green Bay Packers, a source revealed to ESPN on Friday. The deal, worth a reported $68 million is expected to include a $24 million signing bonus. Jenkins will remain with the Packers through the 2026 season as a result.
“We are very excited to be able to come to an agreement that keeps Elgton with the Packers,” general manager Brian Gutekunst stated after Jenkins signed his contract on Friday. “Since the moment he walked into the building, Elgton has been a core member of this franchise while displaying an uncommon versatility, unselfishness and toughness. He’s a tremendous leader and teammate and he has earned everything that has come to him.”
Capable of playing at either guard or tackle, Elgton will become the second highest-paid guard in the league should he remain in that position, trailing only Quenton Nelson of the Indianapolis Colts.
Selected by the Packers in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft, Jenkins was a Pro Bowl selection in his position of left guard in 2020.
