The timing of this Malcolm Jenkins tweet is interesting

In case you missed it over the weekend, the Inquirer reported that Malcolm Jenkins isn’t attending the Eagles’ offseason workout program this year.

This development isn’t a huge deal in the sense that the workout program is voluntary. But the fact that Philadelphia’s defensive captain and most vocal leader on the team isn’t attending these workouts for the first time in his career is at least a little curious.

Jeff McLane suggested that Jenkins’ absence could indicate the 31-year-old safety desires a pay bump. Jenkins’ latest tweet — his first since the Inquirer’s story emerged on Saturday — doesn’t do anything to dispel the notion he might want his contract to be adjusted.
