Here’s a look at what he had to say along with some thoughts of my own.THE LATEST ON MALCOLM JENKINSOn Tuesday morning, Schefter tweeted that “Malcolm Jenkins has been a no show this off-season - with no end in sight.” Schefter echoed that sentiment this morning.Jenkins be fined a total of $88,650 if he misses next week’s minicamp (June 11 through June 13). His absence could send a message that he’s really serious about wanting a new deal. If the Eagles and Jenkins are still at an impasse by the time training camp begins in late July, Jenkins risks being fined $40 Black Fletcher Cox Jerseys ,000 for each day of missed practice. He’d also get docked one week’s regular season salary for each preseason game missed. Those would be some hefty penalties. I’d think Jenkins and the Eagles will have something resolved before training camp begins. There’s still a good amount of time to work things out. As for minicamp, though, it seems like Jenkins could very well miss that.More Schefter talk on the Jenkins situation below.THE CYPPY CUP FACTORSchefter was first to report that veteran free agent safety Johnathan Cyprien was visiting the Eagles on Tuesday. Is that workout related to Jenkins’ absence? Schefter doesn’t think so.As of this publish time, Cyprien has not signed with the Eagles. It’s possible he left Philly without a deal. That doesn’t mean the Eagles won’t ultimately sign him. But they might ultimately pass on Cyprien.Signing Cyprien would hardly give the Eagles a sure-fire Jenkins replacement. With that said, Cyprien could play the box safety role that Jenkins sometimes lines up in. We’ll see if the Eagles choose to bolster their safety and/or linebacker talent — depending on how they plan to use him — by signing Cyprien. CARSON WENTZ CONTRACT COMING?Schefter previously said he believes the Eagles will sign Wentz to a long-term contract extension before the 2019 season. Schefter’s belief has not changed. He said that people around the league feel it’s in the best interest of both sides to get a deal done relatively soon.The Eagles would be wise to sign Wentz to a multi-year deal ASAP. He’s looking healthy and great in OTAs. He’s poised for a very strong 2019 season Fletcher Cox Jerseys 2019 , especially with all this new offensive talent around him.It’s not about trying to get Wentz at an absolute bargain. He knows that his value isn’t as high right now as it would be if he goes out and has a stellar season. But there has to be a price the Eagles can reach that would both 1) make Wentz happy now and 2) give the Eagles a rate that’ll look relatively favorable as quarterback contracts only continue to become even more expensive. So, do it, Eagles. Sign Wentz. And pay Malcolm, too.
