You have a point.

He played at a high level last year, but I hope this isn't just SP making amends for what he called a mistake. The Roman Harper return didn't produce much.

That said, I'm happy we are not paying Bell more than $8 million

quick edit- Jenkins $32 million for 4 years. Oof

32 million for a 32 year old FS and we let a young one that was 24 who had his best season last year go....Mark Ingram situation all over again....smh

In today's market, 8M per isn't a ton of money for an above average safety.

Hopefully this is really just a 1 yr deal with a team option.

It's not but Jenkins did not play well last year. If my budget was 8M/yr and I had to choose between the two I would go with the guy with the upward trend.

The deal’s only around $16 mil guaranteed making it essentially a two year deal.

And we didn’t get rid of Vonn Bell for a 32 year old Malcolm Jenkins. Gardner-Johnson made Vonn Bell expendable.

Right.

A two year deal @8M per season. IMO that's a discount & just tad over the Eagles contract. Essentially Malcolm took about the same amount of cash to come back.

Says a lot to me.

And that is how the good teams in the NFL do it!

Bring in a rookie on a cheap deal and let players walk because you've already drafted his replacement when his contract is too expensive.
