Jets acquired Kris Jenkins for third- and fifth-round picks in the 2008 draft.
Both FoxSports and ESPN has confirmed the news. It remains uncertain if the Jets will restructure Jenkins' contract. New York is taking a risk, and has been surprisingly willing to give up picks in the Mangini era, but Jenkins should fit their scheme well and replace Dewayne Robertson. Feb. 29 - 3:48 am et

Time for DR to go.

NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports that the Jets signed DT Kris Jenkins to a five-year, $35 million contract, with $20 million guaranteed.
Bold move for a player who has either been inconsistent or in decline for the last three years. We suspect the word "guaranteed" is being used loosely here, but two-mid-round picks and this contract is quite a gamble by New York. Jenkins, if he can stay in shape, will solve New York's big problem in the middle of their line.

They needed the help, don't know if Jenkins can stay healthy though

I don't know about this one, a guy who can't stay healthy, and moving to a system that doesn;t even fit his playstyle all too well. Good move for Carolina though.

IF and that is a big if, he can stay healthy, then he will immediately help the run defense which was and is terrible. Health, again a big ?

Hes been hit with two major injuries, but has been healthy for two straight years. I think he will be fine.
