Doug Pederson didn’t want to spend a lot of time talking about the White House controversy this morning.
And Malcolm Jenkins didn’t want to talk about it all, remaining completely silent and instead holding up signs at his locker with various messages for President Trump and critics of the demonstrations that started with Colin Kaepernick.
Here are some of the signs, which mention Kaepernick, teammate Chris Long, and other Eagles and NFL players who have been at the forefront of the social justice movement:

Some of the signs had statistics and crime numbers written down:

Reporters tried to ask questions in between sign-switching, which was met with silence.
