Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that trade talks are heating up between the Jets and Panthers, centering on defensive tackle Kris Jenkins.

Jenkins is one several defensive tackles being shopped around the NFL right now, with others including the Jaguars' Marcus Stroud, the Lions' Shaun Rogers and the Jets' Dewayne Robertson. Schefter reports that the Jets, who want a bigger tackle than Robertson who can play the nose in coach Eric Mangini's 3-4 defense, are expected to make a major push for Jenkins.

There has been speculation that the Jets might trade linebacker Jonathan Vilma to some team in exchange for a nose tackle.

The 28-year-old Jenkins has spent his entire seven-year career in Carolina and has made three Pro Bowls. He is due a $1 million roster bonus next week and base salaries of $2.955 million in 2008 and $3.71 million in 2009.

DR must be on the way out.

Robertson just doesnt fit what they're trying to do, they just need to find a place for him.

Panthers DT Kris Jenkins would preferably like to be dealt to the Washington D.C. area, according to the Rock Hill Herald.
Jenkins played collegiately at Maryland, but the Ravens and Redskins are not believed to be pursuing him. The Jets could get him closer to our nation's capital, and the Herald doesn't believe he'd fight being dealt to New York.
