Eagles release Malcolm Jenkins after declining to pick up his 2020 option

The Philadelphia Eagles are moving on from Malcolm Jenkins after the organization announced that they won’t pick up his 2020 team option, allowing him to become a free agent

Jenkins hasn’t missed a snap in over two seasons and the former Eagles captain made it clear that he wouldn’t return to the team on the deal he had constructed.

The Eagles signed Jenkins to a four-year contract extension worth $35 million, with $21 million guaranteed in 2017. Jenkins restructured his contract in 2018 to create $6.148 million in cap room.
