Malcolm Jenkins: I wanted to cement my legacy in Philadelphia forever
 

Malcolm Jenkins has no hard feelings after the Eagles let him go this week, but he does acknowledge he was hoping to stick around longer in Philadelphia.

Jenkins, the safety who signed with the Saints after he was released by the Eagles, wrote in the Players’ Tribune that he was hoping to remain with the Eagles because he thought he had more work to do both on the team and in the community.

“It’s my legacy that I’m concerned with,” Jenkins wrote. “And it’s no secret that I wanted a new deal — no secret that I felt like I deserved one. Not so I could be the highest-paid player at my position (even though I regard myself as being of that caliber), but so I could cement my legacy in Philadelphia forever. I wanted a deal that showed me that my sacrifices to the game have been recognized. I’m no idiot. I know money is tied to timing, market value, age, the draft, and so on. But legacy? That’s tied to the player, and to the name on the back of his jersey. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, I wasn’t able to ensure that my name would end up on the back of an Eagles jersey this year.”

I sure hope that he brings that same work ethic here and continues to rededicate himself to getting better. At least this time around he has good coaching since Payton got rid of his cronies.

There’s one play that brings back how fast that guy was probably lost a step in 10 years but it was against Tampa bay they were back up against there goal line when someone broke loose down the sideline opposite m. Jenkins and he ran over 130 yards cross the field and got the guy on the saints 2 yard line does anyone recall that play it may have been the Super Bowl year.

I remember that game,but it wasn't our Superbowl year...I think it was a 7-9 season. I believe that was the game we shut them out though
