ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions could obtain a "Jenkins" to help its secondary this season.

However, it does not have to be University of North Alabama's Janoris Jenkins.

According to several reports, the Dallas Cowboys are shopping around cornerback Mike Jenkins in this year's NFL Draft. The Cowboys moved up to select cornerback Morris Claiborne on Thursday, plus signed Brandon Carr in free agency.

Jenkins (5-foot-10 and 202 pounds) was a first-round draft pick by the Dallas Cowboys in 2008. He has been a full-time starter since 2009.

Since 2009, Jenkins had started in 43 of the 44 games he has played in. Jenkins has 147 tackles and eight interceptions in his career.

Jenkins, 27, is recovering from shoulder surgery. He was one of five cornerbacks to play for the Cowboys last season and finished with one interception and was tied for the team lead with 10 pass breakups.

In addition, Jenkins is entering the final year of his rookie deal at a base salary of slightly more than $1 million.

There is no word on what Dallas is asking in return, but considering the Cowboys are dealing a player they no loner need, their asking price cannot be too high.

Should Detroit pursue a trade for Jenkins or try to obtain a cornerback in this year's draft?
