New Orleans Saints EDGE rusher Cameron Jordan enjoyed a strong bounce-back 15th season after underwhelming 2023 and 2024 campaigns. He recorded 47 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, 36 pressures, 15 quarterback hits, 10.5 sacks (the most since 2021), and two forced fumbles across 17 games, including 17 starts, and accounted for 590 defensive snaps.
Jordan, who turns 37 in July, remained unsigned through the week of mandatory minicamp as he weighed his future. The Saints reportedly had an offer on the table for the eight-time Pro Bowler for roughly a month. He recently accepted it, though the terms have not yet been announced.

Great cap Work great deal for the Saints. I think it’s a win-win for both sides and if he plays well, he gets to eat a little bit more.

I think this is more for the Locker Room than him impacting wins on the field.
