The Eagles have agreed to terms with former Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins, reports ESPN's Adam Schefter. Details of the deal: three years, $16.25 million.

The former Saints first-round pick was allowed to hit free agency and will now join a Philly defense that ranked 23rd in the league a season ago (12th against the run, 25th against the pass), according to Football Outsiders.

And while the Eagles' safeties didn't fare particularly well in 2013 (Colt Anderson ranked 72, via ProFootballFocus, and Nate Allen and Kurt Coleman were 84th and 85th), Jenkins was dead last. Out of 88 safeties he was -- you guessed it -- 88.

Report: Redskins sign WR Andre Roberts to 4-year, $16 million deal



This will be confirmed at or just after 4 p.m. Eastern today once players are allowed to sign deals with new teams, but it's pretty much a lock this morning. The Redskins have signed former Cardinals wideout Andre Roberts. The news was first broken by the Washington Post's Mike Jones. According to CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora, the pact is four years long and half of its $16 million is guaranteed.Roberts, 26, caught 43 passes for 471 yards and two touchdowns last year.



Those numbers don't sound like much -- and they really aren't -- but they would have been good enough to make Roberts the Redskins' most productive wideout not named Pierre Garcon last season. He works well out of the slot and gives Robert Griffin III another young weapon, one who is more dependable than Aldrick Robinson or Leonard Hankerson. Roberts, however, is probably going to be RG3's third look on most plays, behind Garcon and tight end Jordan Reed. He is a WR4 in fantasy but does have some PPR upside.
