From all indications he was a solid Giant..I wish him well
I'm surprised

it took this long for someone to sign him. Even at 35, he's still a solid player.
Liked him as well

Currently 35 years old with almost 170 games played. Saw an analysis saying the Washington DL was not in that good shape. I was a bit surprised but this certainly would seem to indicate they're still searching for answers.
You mean the Redskins?

His versatility is a perfect fit. Question is how much he has left.

In the base 3-4, Jenkins is a five-tech, and that has been his best position most of his career. Gruden has said they want linemen who can play inside or outside. Again, that has been a strength of Jenkins since his days in Green Bay. His ability to contribute mostly comes down to the weight of the fork in his back: minor annoyance, or crippling disability?

I think one reason Jenkins remained unemployed so long was that he had promised his wife that they wouldn't relocate outside the northeast. His options may have been limited to the Acela Corridor or retirement.
I'm not sure what he has left, but nice player in his day.

DC's DL is a weakness.

They have issues stopping the run.
Well, they probably won't

have issues stopping OUR run.
We got him a little bit too late in his career  
David in LA : 8/30/2016 2:16 am : link
but he was a good Giant. He'll forever be remembered for the headphone incident, which expedited Damontre's exit.
kinda wish we kept him here

but with Oke playing well at DT we should be ok there.
