Back in June, Teven Jenkins mentioned that his agents had reached out to the Bears about a contract extension but hadn’t heard back. By July, just before training camp, Jenkins shared that the Bears informed him they wouldn’t discuss the extension until after their bye week in October. Now that the Bears are in their bye week, it’s time for both sides to sit down and determine if a deal makes sense. Should the Bears consider extending the former 2nd-round pick? It could be a smart move if Jenkins and his representatives are reasonable about the price. We know that Bears GM Ryan Poles sticks firmly to numbers that he and his staff deem fair, as we saw in the case of Roquan Smith.
