"The deal is worth around $2 million, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "I've been on, I want to say 11 one-deals," Jenkins said. "So yeah, I was surprised." At 36 years old, Jenkins is the fourth-oldest defensive lineman in the NFL. He recently approached members of the Ravens' front office about life after football, when one team official said, "Hey, you still got it." "Then next thing you know, here we are," Jenkins said."
"This season, he has recorded 36 tackles, one sack, three tackles for loss and two forced fumbles. A third-round pick by the New Orleans Saints in 2013, Jenkins went on to sign one-year deals with the Seattle Seahawks (2016), Chicago Bears (2017 and 2020), New York Giants (2018), Miami Dolphins (2019, 2021 and 2022), Las Vegas Raiders (2022 and 2023) and Ravens (2025)."
John Jenkins signed a one-year contract extension with the Baltimore Ravens worth about $2 million, marking the first extension of his 13-year NFL career. At 36, he is among the oldest defensive linemen in the league and recently inquired about life after football before earning the deal. Jenkins has filled a need in Baltimore's No. 11 run defense following season-ending injuries to Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) and Broderick Washington (Achilles). This season he has 36 tackles, one sack, three tackles for loss and two forced fumbles. Jenkins previously signed numerous one-year deals with multiple teams. Baltimore recently also extended Travis Jones amid uncertainty about Madubuike.
