Macolm Jenkins will reportedly attend mandatory minicamp

Malcolm Jenkins has been unhappy with his contract situation and decided to skip voluntary workouts for the first time since he joined the Philadelphia Eagles, but it does not seem like he plans to hold out this offseason.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Jenkins will be in attendance when the Eagles begin mandatory minicamp on Tuesday. Not only that, but he is said to be “excited” to join his teammates and get to work for the 2019 season.

Eagles’ safety Malcolm Jenkins has reported for his team physical and will be in attendance for the team’s mandatory minicamp that begins Tuesday, per source. Jenkins is said to be excited to be with his teammates and focused on the 2019 season as an Eagle.

Schefter previously reported that there was “no end in sight” with Jenkins’ holdout, so it’s possible the Eagles are working on restructuring his contract.

After several safeties signed massive free agent deals this offseason, Jenkins is now the 10th-highest-paid player at the position. His average annual salary of $8.75 million is only slightly more than half of the $14 million per year Landon Collins will make with the Washington Redskins and Tyrann Mathieu will earn with the Kansas City Chiefs. Jenkins has been a team leader in Philly for several seasons, and it seemed obvious he was unhappy with his contract when he skipped voluntary workouts.

Jenkins is several years older than both Mathieu and Collins, but he’s less than two years older than Earl Thomas, who signed a four-year, $55 million contract with the Baltimore Ravens back in March. That puts him just slightly below what Mathieu and Collins are making, so you get the picture.

While he’s on the back-end of his career at age 31, Jenkins has never missed a game during his five seasons with the Eagles. That said, he’s signed for two more years and doesn’t have much leverage.
