The Philadelphia Eagles signed safety Malcolm Jenkins to a new five-year contract Monday that will keep him with the team through the 2020 season.
Jenkins, 28, was entering the final season of a three-year, $15.5 million contract.
Jenkins earned his first Pro Bowl last season after recording 109 tackles, three forced fumbles and two interceptions, starting all 16 games.
Jenkins’ shining moment in 2015 came against the New England Patriots on Dec. 6 when he grabbed a deflection of a Tom Brady pass and returned the interception 99 yards for a touchdown in the Eagles’ 35-28 victory.
In two seasons with the Eagles, Jenkins has totaled 189 tackles, five forced fumbles and five interceptions.
Jenkins spent the first five seasons of his NFL career in New Orleans, helping the Saints capture a Super Bowl title as a rookie in 2009.
