Saints closing in on signing S Malcolm Jenkins

Please don't pay too much.

Balls deep in Buckeyes!

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

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

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.

Jenkins had a fine 2019 season.

With Bell, it could have been that it wasn't a good "fit". Vonn is a solid player but very limited in coverage and teams capitalized on that.

Malcolm and Gardner-Johnson are guys who can cover with little help. Hopefully, that will allow Marcus to roam and make more plays.

Maybe in the eyes of coaches, having Jenkins gives the Saints the better chance to get back to where we want to be.

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

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

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.

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.
