Packers Total Access : 🔴 BREAKING NEWS: Packers Expected To Release Elgton Jenkins?

Green Bay Packers news today, Sunday, February 22, 2026: Multiple reports confirm the Packers are expected to release veteran offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins before the new league year to save $19.5 million in cap space, the latest on Tyler Linderbaum as a potential $70M replacement, and a high-stakes injury update on Micah Parsons. Packer Nation, we are witnessing the end of an era for the Green and Gold! As of Sunday, February 22, 2026, the "writing is on the wall" for two-time Pro Bowler Elgton Jenkins. According to Sports Illustrated's Bill Huber and other major outlets, the Packers are prepared to move on from the versatile veteran following a 2025 season defined by a struggling transition to center and a season-ending broken fibula in Week 10. With Jenkins carrying a massive $24.3 million cap hit—the fourth-highest on the team—and the Packers currently sitting $16.9 million over the salary cap, Brian Gutekunst is reportedly choosing financial flexibility over veteran continuity. We break down the "Jenkins Fallout," the $19.5 million in immediate savings, and why the 30-year-old's dip in PFF rankings (22nd in pass-blocking efficiency) made this brutal decision inevitable. In this breaking news update, we also dive into the $70 million solution that could change everything. If Jenkins is out, is the path clear for the Packers to target Tyler Linderbaum in 2026 NFL Free Agency? We analyze the "Draft Gems" at Pick #52 who could step in at guard or center to protect a 100% healthy Jordan Love. Plus, we tackle the huge decision regarding Josh Jacobs—does releasing Jenkins make it easier to keep our star RB, or is a total roster purge underway? We also check in on the Micah Parsons vs. Skip Bayless feud as Parsons uses the "overrated" noise to fuel his ACL rehab for a mid-September return. From the coaching search to replace Rich Bisaccia to the return of Luke Getsy, we have the total breakdown of this franchise-altering move! Learn more about your ad choices.
