WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Trust (Powered by the NFLPA) announced today the NFLPA appointment of Malcolm Jenkins, two-time Super Bowl champion, three-time Pro Bowl legend, entrepreneur, author, and community advocate, to its Board of Trustees, effective immediately. Jenkins replaces Rashean Mathis, who is stepping down after 12 years of dedicated service as a Trustee. Jenkins' leadership will be instrumental in advancing The Trust's mission to empower former NFL players to thrive in life after football and achieve their full potential. 'We are thrilled to welcome Malcolm Jenkins to the Board," said Zamir Cobb, Executive Director of The Trust. 'Malcolm is known for his leadership both on the field and in the community, and we are excited to have him bring an unmatched perspective to the mission of supporting our members as they live in their purpose beyond the game. I also want to sincerely thank Rashean Mathis for his commitment and leadership to The Trust.' A three-time Walter Payton Man of the Year finalist, Jenkins had a storied 13-year career with the National Football League's New Orleans Saints and Philadelphia Eagles. Off the field, Jenkins has built a dynamic business portfolio through Malcolm Inc., a strategic investment and management firm focused on venture capital, consumer brands, and media. In 2017, Jenkins garnered the NFLPA Alan Page Community Award (formerly known as the Byron 'Whizzer' White Man of the Year Award). The award, which is the NFLPA's highest honor, recognizes one player who demonstrates a profound dedication to positively impacting their team, community and country. A CEO, investor, media entrepreneur, and author, Jenkins has translated his championship mindset to boardrooms, venture capital, media, and philanthropy. He is a founding partner of Broad Street Ventures, a $10 million venture fund led entirely by Black and Brown investors — including current and former NFL players — focused on providing access to early- and growth-stage investment opportunities across consumer products and technology. Jenkins is also the founder of Listen Up Media, a multimedia production company committed to storytelling that elevates Black voices and challenges systemic barriers. His Substack platform, Love, Art & War, offers personal insight into his work building Black wealth, leadership, and cultural legacy. He owns Disrupt Foods, which operates 28 and counting quick-service restaurant franchises, creating economic opportunity and ownership pathways for Black and Brown entrepreneurs. His broader investment portfolio includes minority ownership in Burnley F.C. (Premier League) through Disrupt Sports Partners, alongside multiple early-stage venture and private equity investments. He is also the founder of The Malcolm Jenkins Foundation (TMJF), which has impacted thousands of underserved youth through education, leadership, financial literacy, and community development. A passionate advocate for athlete entrepreneurship and generational wealth-building, Jenkins empowers the next generation to build lasting legacies far beyond the field. 'What excites me most about joining The Trust's Board is the opportunity to meet the unique challenges that former players face. Having made the transition out of the NFL myself in 2022, I know firsthand how difficult that journey can be—and where some of the gaps still exist. Our members are asking for more programs, more opportunities, and more support as they build lives of purpose beyond the game. I'm committed to making sure we answer that call,' said Jenkins. An accomplished writer, he authored the memoir, What Winners Won't Tell You: Lessons from a Legendary Defender, which takes readers beyond mere statistics. It reveals the mental toughness, business acumen, and personal growth necessary to sustain excellence. ABOUT THE TRUST (POWERED BY THE NFLPA) The Trust offers eligible former players a comprehensive support system in key areas such as career development, educational advancement, health and wellness resources, financial education, and community connection opportunities. The Trust was established from the commitment of the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) and its members to ensure that players can access the benefits and services they need to succeed beyond the game of football.

NFL reporter shares what Terry McLaurin wants in new contract, issues with Washington Commanders
The Washington Commanders are coming off one of their best seasons in franchise history, with wide receiver Terry McLaurin thriving alongside quarterback Jayden Daniels. However, McLaurin's future with the franchise has been uncertain as he enters a contract year. Bleacher Report's NFL reporter James Palmer shared that, from his understanding, the Commanders and McLaurin really 'didn't make any kind of headway' during negotiations in June. Just weeks out from training camp, the two sides are 'far apart' on any progress toward an extension. Advertisement Related: NFL power rankings, find out where the Commanders rank Terry McLaurin contract (Spotrac): $25.5 million cap hit in 2025, free agent in 2026 Palmer shared that McLaurin is not asking the Commanders to reset the market at the receiver position, which would mean a multi-year extension north of $40 million per season. However, McLaurin does believe his new salary should fall in line with his comparable peers. To his point, Tee Higgins is the highest-paid No. 2 receiver in the NFL at a $28.75 million average annual value (AAV). Over the last three seasons, McLaurin has far outpaced Higgins in receiving yards (3,289 to 2,596). Coming off a career-high 13 receiving touchdowns, he is more in line with No. 1 wide receivers. Related: Best NFL wide receivers 2025, see where Commanders' Terry McLaurin lands Terry McLaurin stats (2024): 82 receptions, 1,096 receiving yards, 13 touchdowns Advertisement Based on his comparables, McLaurin should become the eighth wide receiver in the NFL to earn $30-plus million annually. It's almost certainly the type of offers he would receive next offseason if he hits NFL free agency. Evidently, a significant gap remains in contract negotiations between the two sides. It's possible that guaranteed money or the length of the deal are the bigger issues, especially since McLaurin is entering his age-30 season. Either way, the lack of progress in talks suggests the Pro Bowl receiver could exercise a hold-in during training camp. Related Headlines
