Chiefs & Steelers Most Likely Destinations For Giants CB Janoris Jenkins

Update:

Ralph Vacchiano of SNY reports that the Chiefs and Steelers are emerging as his most likely destinations for Giants CB Janoris Jenkins.

According to Vacchiano, both teams had interest in Cardinals CB Patrick Peterson before it was made clear that he’ll remain in Arizona. Now the Chiefs and Steelers have turned their attention to second-tier options like Jenkins.

Other teams who have reportedly expressed interest in Jenkins, according to Vacchiano, include the Saints and Eagles. Although, that was before the Saints acquired Eli Apple.

Vacchiano says that the Patriots are a dark horse to watch for Jenkins.

According to Paul Schwartz of the New York Post, the Chiefs are a team to watch in regards to Giants CB Janoris Jenkins.

Schwartz says that the Chiefs have “some interest” in Jenkins and he could help put a contender like Kansas City over the top.

Jenkins, 29 is a former second-round pick of the Rams back in 2012. He spent four years with the Rams before signing a five-year, $62.5 million contract that included $28.8 million guaranteed with the Giants.
