Malcolm Jenkins Fantasy

The New Orleans Saints signed safety Malcolm Jenkins to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday. The Saints drafted Jenkins in the first round in 2009 and were always upset that they let him walk after four years to begin his career. He went on to play in every game for the Eagles the last six seasons. Jenkins will bring veteran leadership and a ton of versatility to the team's secondary as they look to make a Super Bowl run in what will likely be quarterback Drew Brees' last season. New Orleans' defense/special teams is certainly a unit on the rise.

The New Orleans Saints are close to a deal with safety Malcolm Jenkins. The Eagles declined to pick up Jenkins' 2020 team option, making him a free agent on Tuesday. The Saints took Jenkins with the 14th overall pick in the 2009 draft and he played with them for five seasons before going to Philadelphia, where he started in every game for the last six seasons and made three Pro Bowls. The versatile defensive back would be a nice prize for a defense that was very strong in 2019. Jenkins would bring veteran leadership to the back end after tallying 81 tackles (63 solo), six tackles for loss, nine QB hits, four forced fumbles and one fumble recovery in 2019.

The Philadelphia Eagles announced on Tuesday that they will not pick up safety Malcolm Jenkins' 2020 contract option. Jenkins, a three-time Pro Bowler with the Eagles, started every single game for the team for the last six seasons. He had 81 tackles (63 solo), six tackles for loss, nine QB hits, eight passes defensed, four forced fumbles and one fumble recovery last year. The 2019 season was the first time since 2011 that he failed to record an interception. Jenkins will turn 33 this December but should have plenty of suitors on the open market given his track record of excellent health. The re-signing of defensive back Jalen Mills on Tuesday opened up the door for the Eagles to part ways with Jenkins.
