Malcolm Jenkins Fantasy

New Orleans Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins is concerned about the risks to players that will inevitably come with the NFL's return to play during the coronavirus pandemic. "I think until we get to the point where we have protocols in place, and until we get to a place as a country where we feel safe doing it, we have to understand that football is a nonessential business," Jenkins said. The veteran safety certainly isn't the only one worrying about the risks involved with a return to play, as Dallas Cowboys star Ezekiel Elliott also voiced his apprehensions about the NFL's season. As the most contact-heavy sport, the NFL will have to be vigilant on handling any positive tests if they want to have a full season. The league is slated to meet with teams on Thursday to discuss reopening facilities.

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.
