The Jaguars will sign safety Rayshawn Jenkins to a four-year deal when the league year begins on Wednesday, at 4 p.m., per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
Jenkins enjoyed a break-out season with the Los Angeles Chargers last year, racking up 84 tackles and adding a pair of interceptions. He had three picks and 54 tackles the year prior. Injuries to Pro Bowler Derwin James and rookie Nassir Adderley in 2019 paved the way for Jenkins to ascend to the starting safety position. He has also played free safety, showcasing versatility that the Jaguars will benefit from. Fowler reports that his production did not go unnoticed: the Chargers attempted to re-sign him, but the Jaguars offered a deal that "should have good financial commitment behind it."
Jenkins has played 15 or more games each of his four seasons in the league. The St. Petersburg, Florida, native was drafted by the Chargers in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft.
