Professional career
Green Bay Packers
2004–2006
Cullen Jenkins was originally signed by Green Bay as a rookie free agent after the '03 draft. One year later, after an impressive NFL Europe season and strong training camp, landed a spot on the Packers' roster. From 2004 to November 2006, Jenkins was the backup for Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila, and took over the starting role the final month of the 2006 season. As the starter for the last month of games, he recorded a career-high 6½ sacks that year, including his first three-sack game vs. Detroit on December 17, 2006.
2007–2008
On February 26, 2007, Jenkins signed a four year, $16 million contract extension.[1] Jenkins batted down nine passes in 2007, the most by a Packers defensive lineman since the team began recording the statistic in 1980.
In the 2008 season, the Packers decided to start Jenkins instead of Gbaja-Biamila for the second season in a row. He could only play four games though, before he suffered a torn pectoral muscle against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on September 28, 2008. Two days later, he was placed on injured reserve.
2009–2010
In the 2009 season Jenkins returned as a starting defensive end because the Packers had switched from a 4-3 to a 3-4 defense. Jenkins had two productive seasons with effective play against both the pass and the run. In the 2010 season Jenkins missed 5 games with a calf injury, but returned by the end of the season to win Super Bowl XLV with the Packers.
Philadelphia Eagles
The Philadelphia Eagles signed Jenkins to a five-year, $25 million contract on July 30, 2011.[2]
