Expected Elgton Jenkins move opens door for massive Packers upgrade

Free agency is still a few weeks away, but the Green Bay Packers have signaled that Jordan Love will have a new center snapping the ball next year.

Speculation about Green Bay potentially moving on from longtime starter Elgton Jenkins has been rampant since he suffered a season-ending lower-leg fracture against the Philadelphia Eagles. Further clouding the 30-year-old's future is his struggles since transitioning from guard to center, his $24.3 million cap hit, and the $19.53 million in salary cap space the Packers can gain.

This past weekend, Sports Illustrated's Bill Huber all but confirmed the speculation, going as far as to say there is "almost a 0 percent chance" Jenkins will return.
