08:04 AM ET 05.06 | Cullen Jenkins doesn't think he'll get the chance to defend his Super Bowl title with the Packers. Jenkins, who turned 30 in January, has missed parts of two of the past three seasons because of injuries -- last year, he broke his hand during the opener at Philadelphia and missed five more games with a calf strain -- and now that his four-year, $16 million contract has expired, Green Bay is expected to turn the job over to 2010 second-round draft pick Mike Neal, who missed all but two games as a rookie because of a torn rotator cuff. "Mike has the ability to take over the game," Jenkins said. ... Perhaps Jenkins' time with the Packers isn't finished. "The possibility is there, I guess," he said.

At least Jenkins is being realistic about it instead of pitching a fit and calling out the team.

Mike looked really good in the two games he played. I just hope he doesn't pull a Harrell in keep getting injured.

So the Packers choices are a guy who was hurt most of last year and a guy who was hurt most of last year?

An older player with a 4 Million $ / year contract who is often hurt may not be re-signed by a NFL team..... shocking

Keep them both and you still don't have one fulltime starter.

He cannot talk to the Packers GM Ted Thompson or Coach Mike McCarthy, ...so he has NO CLUE if the Packer want him or not

I just sent a check for my season tickets. We are not even sure there willl be football this year, but that money is sitting in an account earning interest. Use some of that interest revenue to pay the guy. Usually Ted takes care of his own. I hope Jenkins returns to the Packers.

He was good for the Packers and for the town of Green Bay. Hopefully his Superbowl ring will soften his transition from the NFL to the outside world. Thanks Cullen!

He was good for Green Bay and for the Packers. I think the Super Bowl ring should help him adjust to life out of football.

I guess so. But just the same, sorry to see a great NFL player retire any day... Makes me feel older, too. Love the NFL.

He's not retiring, he's just moving on. Probably get a couple of million or more from some team looking for a solid d-lineman. Could be in the league for another 3, 4, or 5 seasons.
