Malcolm Jenkins will be at Philadelphia Eagles training camp despite his wishes for a new contract. ESPN's Adam Schefter revealed on 97.5 The Fanatic Wednesday that Jenkins will play though his contract and won't be a distraction for the Eagles going forward.

"Nothing will change towards the season," Schefter said. "He'll be there (at training camp). He'll play through this contract and at some point they'll address that at the appropriate time, but it's not going to be this year. He's going to be there. He's going to be a good soldier and be the great teammate he's been. I expect him to be the great player he is.

"I'm just telling you it ain't going to be an issue."

Jenkins restructured his deal in 2018, saving cap space and adding two dummy years to the contract. Jenkins is owed $11.387 million in 2019 and $10.887 million in 2020 before the dummy years kick in, which prorates $7.685 million of his salary over five years.

Compared to the highest-paid safeties in the game, Jenkins is ninth in average annual value, ninth in total dollars, and ninth in guaranteed dollars.

Jenkins admitted negotiations with the Eagles are ongoing in June, but indicated no signs of a new deal are imminent.

"I feel like I’ve outplayed that contract. But there’s also a business side of the game," Jenkins said back in June. "So those things come with negotiations, but it has nothing to do with what I put out on the field."

Jenkins has 418 tackles in his five seasons with the Eagles, with 11 interceptions (six returned for touchdowns), 50 pass deflections, and eight forced fumbles. He's been selected to three Pro Bowls and one All-Pro selection, and has been the emotional voice of the Eagles defense.

The Eagles have given a lot to Jenkins over the years, which he values going forward. Seeking a new deal isn't worth straining a relationship, which is why the Eagles captain is hoping patience leads to a new deal

"For me, I think they understand the value that I bring and I feel respected, which I think is the biggest part," Jenkins said. "As a player, you want to make sure that you feel valued and you feel respected.

"At the end of the day, I think everybody wants to win. I love being an Eagle, I love being here, I love this team, this locker room, and I want to be a part of it. So that's why I'm here."

The Eagles have $20,927,509 in available salary cap space, plenty of room to get a deal done for Jenkins (which they'll actually save $5,656,000 in cap space in 2019 and $5,244,000 in 2020). Per Over the Cap, the Eagles have$5,377,494 in available salary cap space for 2020, including the money saved on the Carson Wentz extension.

The Eagles have room to get a Jenkins extension done if they wish, but that doesn't appear to be on the docket at this time.
