Cam Jordan Returns for 15th Season
Contract Agreement
Cameron Jordan, a key player for the New Orleans Saints defense, announced via social media that he will continue his career with the team for a fifteenth season. The 35-year-old defensive end confirmed that he and the Saints have finalized a revised contract, although specific details have yet to be revealed.
Jordan was originally set to earn $12.5 million in base salary and carry a $20 million cap hit for the upcoming season. His decision to remain with the team highlights the ongoing bond between Jordan and the franchise, especially following a challenging 2024 season for him.
Impactful Career
Jordan has been a prominent figure in the New Orleans community, notably earning a nomination for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award in 2024. His career statistics are remarkable, featuring 121.5 career sacks and 716 tackles across 226 games, during which he only missed two games.
His contributions to the Saints have been significant, including a selection to the Hall of Fame’s All-2010s Team and the achievement of recording double-digit sacks in six different seasons. The pinnacle of his career came in 2017 when he matched his personal best with 13 sacks and was honored as an All-Pro player. This period helped the Saints develop into a competitive playoff team from 2017 through 2020.
Focusing on the Future
With the Saints moving forward under rookie head coach Kellen Moore, Jordan's experience will be vital for the team's development. As they aim to overcome last season's disappointing 5-12 performance, the Saints are counting on Jordan to bolster their defensive strategies and work towards regaining a spot in the playoffs.
