Pro Football Rumors
DThere’s been optimism all offseason that Cameron Jordan will return to New Orleans for a 16th season. The actual signing may now be on the horizon.
According to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.football, the veteran defender is flying to New Orleans tomorrow for a sit-down with Saints brass. While there remains mutual interest in a deal, nothing is imminent.
The 2011 first-round pick has spent his entire career with the Saints, where he owns the franchise record with 132 career sacks. He inked a two-year, $27.5MM extension with the organization in 2023 that would keep him in New Orleans through the 2025 campaign.
After accepting a pay cut to return to the Saints last year, Jordan played out last year on a deal worth $6.1MM. He ended up outplaying that value, as he finished the season with 10.5 sacks, his highest total since the 2021 campaign. Despite 2025 representing the veteran’s age-36 season, Jordan also finished 23rd among 119 qualifying edge defenders in Pro Football Focus’ positional rankings.
More to come…
