The Philadelphia Eagles are facing a changing of the guard. The team announced they would be moving on from their starting safety. Malcolm Jenkins, after failing to pick up the 32-year-old’s club option on his contract.

Long story short, Philadelphia brought back defensive back Jalen Mills with a focus on transitioning the former cornerback to safety, with the hopes of replacing Jenkins’ role on defense.

Having made these decisions has put the Eagles’ fanbase, for the most part, in a complete state of shock. Jenkins has been a vital part of the organization since coming over from the New Orleans Saints during the 2014 offseason.
