Safety Malcolm Jenkins is close to a deal that would allow him to return to the Saints, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
The Saints selected Jenkins in the first round of the 2009 NFL draft. He spent five seasons with New Orleans before he signed with the Eagles in 2014.
On Tuesday, Jenkins was released by the Eagles after the team opted to not exercise his 2020 club option. He won a Super Bowl with the Eagles in 2017 in addition to his title with the Saints in 2010.
"I hope that I am leaving having given more than I have received," Jenkins said in a farewell to Philadelphia.
