3 Memories from Malcolm Jenkins career with Philadelphia Eagles

The ride may be over, but Malcolm Jenkins leaves an amazing legacy with the Philadelphia Eagles.

For many of us, even though we saw the Philadelphia Eagles officially announce from their social media accounts that Malcolm Jenkins‘ ride with the ‘Birds’ was over after six seasons, it still felt like a bad dream. We waited for the follow up telling us that they were just teasing, but that never came.

For many of us, it stings, but then again, if Philly could say goodbye to Reggie White and Brian Dawkins, it would appear that no one’s safe. Fans are upset. Those of us who have defended Howie Roseman sit idly and try to find words that will help defend his thought process. There aren’t any.

How does this team take care of Jalen Mills, Alshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson, and Hassan Ridgeway, guys who can’t stay healthy, but fail to reward one of the members of this team that deserves it? That’s not meant to be disrespectful to any of the other guys mentioned, but it does make one think that Philly rewards those who outplay their contracts unless of course, your name is Malcolm Jenkins.

It’s maddening.

“27” was one of about five things that Chip Kelly did right. On March 11th of 2014, the Eagles signed him to a three-year, $16.25 million deal and named him as one of their starting safeties. Three Pro Bowl nods (2015, 2017, 2018) were the result, but what he did on the field is only a portion of what he meant to the NFL‘s most loyal fanbase. Here are three things the fans and the media will always remember about his legacy in Philly.
