Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins divulged Monday that he is seeking a new contract ahead of the 2020 season.

According to ESPN's Tim McManus, the veteran defensive back said: "I won't be back on the same deal. That won't happen."

Jenkins has one year remaining on his current contract at a base salary of $7.6 million. Per Spotrac, Jenkins' average annual salary ranks 12th among NFL safeties, and it is far below the highest-paid players at the position, as Eddie Jackson of the Chicago Bears, Kevin Byard of the Tennessee Titans, Landon Collins of the Washington Redskins and Tyrann Mathieu of the Kansas City Chiefs all make at least $14 million per year.
