Safety Jenkins back to Saints for 4 years

Veteran safety Malcolm Jenkins agreed to a four-year, $32 million contract to return to the Saints.

Jenkins, 32, has played 11 seasons in the NFL — his first five with the Saints and last six with the Eagles, who declined to pick up his option for the 2020 season.

Last season, Jenkins started all 16 games for the Eagles and made or assisted on 81 tackles, including six tackles for losses and 2½ sacks. He also forced four fumbles and recovered one. He has 17 interceptions but had none last season.

NT Pierce headed to Vikings

Former Ravens nose tackle Michael Pierce reportedly is close to agreeing to a three-year deal with the Vikings.

Pierce, 27, went from being an undrafted rookie from Samford in 2016 to one of the top young runstuffers in the league with the Ravens. His 151 tackles in that span are the third most among defensive tackles in the AFC North.

The Lions also agreed to a two-year, $8 million contract with defensive tackle Danny Shelton.

Longtime Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr. reportedly agreed to a two-year, $20.5 million contract to join the Chargers.
