Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins has not shown up to the -voluntary- workouts. Fans are beginning to take notice of Elgton Jenkins’s absence. With Jenkins expected to shift from left guard to center for the 2025 season, it is news that is raising eyebrows, both off the field and on.
Speaking of Jenkins’ absence earlier this week, Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich said the 34-year-old lineman is “open to it, excited about it”, referring to a positional change. Nevertheless, Stenavich mentioned, “other reasons” why Jenkins was not in Green Bay, but he gave no more details.
Adam Stenavich said based on the conversations he’s had with Elgton Jenkins about moving to center, “I think he’s open to it.”
So that’s not the reason Jenkins isn’t here for the offseason workouts?

Elgton Jenkins Looking for New Contract
According to various reports, one of those reasons might be related to the contract. Jenkins has a contract through 2026, but none of his remaining base salaries ($11.7 million in 2025, $18.5 million in ’26) are guaranteed. With a shift to center, arguably the most mentally taxing position on the line, Jenkins may be advocating to be rewarded for his new position through a renegotiated deal.
Meanwhile, Jenkins grabbed the newspaper headlines for a different cause. TMZ said that the All-Pro lineman was engaged in a dispute at an Atlanta strip club earlier this month. When things heated up, police were called. Fortunately, the situation was resolved, and no arrests or citations were given.
