Safety Malcolm Jenkins will join the Eagles defense in 2014, reports Adam Schefter of ESPN (via Twitter). The former first-round pick of the Saints has agreed on a three-year deal with the Eagles, worth $16.25MM. Jeff McClane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports that the contract includes $8.5MM in guaranteed money (via Twitter).
Jenkins was one of the second-tier safeties available, and while the Eagles have been linked to both T.J. Ward and Jairus Byrd at points this offseason, it is unclear if that will take those players out of the running.
