Disgruntled Packers C Elgton Jenkins at camp, not practicing
June 9 - Packers center Elgton Jenkins plans to attend mandatory minicamp in Green Bay, although participation is an entirely different story, according to multiple reports Monday. Seeking an adjusted contract to reflect the current market for his new position, Jenkins has been distant from the team since the start of the offseason. He's moving from guard to center and while he said last season he's amenable to a move, he wants to be paid for his versatility after logging important snaps at tackle and guard in previous seasons. Jenkins has two years remaining on a four-year, $68 million contract signed in 2022, but none of it is guaranteed. NFL Network reported Monday it's unlikely Jenkins will practice without financial guarantees for injury in his contract. Packers offensive coordinator Andy Stenavich said after the draft Jenkins was on board with the position switch, but ESPN reported Jenkins wants the security of guarantees or a new deal to make the move. At an average annual salary of $17 million per year, Jenkins' current deal would make him the second-highest-paid center in the NFL -- tied with Cam Jurgens (Eagles) -- behind only Chiefs All-Pro Creed Humphrey ($18 million). Jenkins turns 30 in December and bumps inside to make room for free agent addition Aaron Banks to play left guard. The Packers also selected Anthony Belton (54th overall) and seventh-rounder John Williams in their 2025 draft class. Jenkins was a second-round pick in 2019 and played center in college. General manager Brian Gutekunst has shown little interest in extending contracts for players with more than one season left on an existing contract. "We feel he's got a chance to be an All-Pro center. We've talked about it a lot, how versatility plays into our offensive line, and having guys that can move to different spots," Gutekunst said. "And Elgton's one of those guys who can play all five spots, so he's a luxury. I'm excited to see what he can do at center, as well." --Field Level Media

Frank Ragnow retires: Lions center walks away at age 29, citing health
"I've tried to convince myself that I'm feeling good but I'm not and it's time to prioritize my health and my families future," Ragnow wrote. "I have given this team everything I have and I thought I had more to give, but the reality is I simply don't. I have to listen to my body and this has been one of the hardest decisions of my life." The Lions selected Ragnow 20th overall in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft. He quickly blossomed into a quality starter for the team, making 96 starts over his seven NFL seasons. Ragnow made four Pro Bowls during his career and was named an All-Pro second-teamer in three of his final five seasons. He was a key cog in Detroit's top-scoring offense during the 2024 NFL season and graded as Pro Football Focus' second-best center for the campaign, behind only Kansas City Chiefs star Creed Humphrey. That said, Ragnow was frequently listed on the Lions' injury report, though he still played at least 14 games in six of his seven NFL seasons. He gained notoriety for playing through a fractured throat in a December game during the 2020 season and also dealt with foot, toe, knee, ankle, back and groin injuries throughout his career. NFL FREE AGENTS: Best fits for Keenan Allen, Aaron Rodgers, top remaining players Ragnow's retirement comes as the Lions opened their OTAs for the 2025 NFL offseason. The 29-year-old was not in attendance for those workouts, and speculation arose he might want a new contract as he entered the penultimate year of his deal. Ragnow put those rumors to bed with his decision to retire. The Lions will now look to replace him, with NFL Network's Mike Garafolo noting veteran Graham Glasgow and second-round rookie Tate Ratledge are taking reps at center in Ragnow's stead. Meanwhile, Ragnow took his retirement announcement as an opportunity to thank the Lions and their fans for the support they offered him throughout his seven-year career. "The Lions organization has been absolutely incredible throughout this process and I can't emphasize this enough how grateful I am for this team and all the fans," Ragnow wrote. "It was an absolute honor going to battle for you all."
