Former Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins said Saturday he became "attached" to the city and wanted to remain with the organization before leaving to rejoin the New Orleans Saints in free agency.
Jenkins penned a goodbye letter to Philadelphia and its fans for The Players' Tribune.
"Philly, I know we have to go our separate ways...but can we still be friends?" he wrote. "Maybe this sounds crazy—but it really does feel like I'm going through a breakup right now. Like I'm breaking up with my city.
