Jenkins recorded 79 tackles, one sack, five pass breakups, one interception, one touchdown and one forced fumble over 16 games in 2021.

Jenkins fell a few snaps short of reaching 1,000 for the fourth straight season, but he nonetheless handled a large a role for a strong Saints defense yet again. However, a five-year low in the tackle category combined with a 12-year low in PBUs helped him fall outside the top 40 of safeties in terms of fantasy points. Now set to embark on his age-34 season, it's fair to wonder what New Orleans will do with his contract this offseason, as the team is already projected to be $66 million over the 2022 cap limit and Jenkins' release could clear nearly $8 million.
