As for Jordan’s future, just where Year 16 takes place is to be determined.<\/p>\n

An eight-time Pro Bowler, Jordan has spent his entire career with the Saints, but his contract is set to void. He’s the No. 83 free agent<\/a> on NFL.com’s top 101 list and coming off a 10.5-sack campaign, his first double-digit effort since 2021. His 132 career sacks rank second among active players, and he’s yet to miss more than one game in a single season.<\/p>\n

The durability and productivity is still there, even if he has no expectations it will result in a massive pay day given the stage he’s at in his career.<\/p>\n

“If you get a 10-sack season, if I was 26, I’d be asking for top dollar,” Jordan said. “Things I’ve never asked for is top dollar. All I’ve ever asked for is to be valued.”<\/p>\n

If the Saints hope to keep one of their franchise legends in New Orleans, they’ll need to find the happy medium between bringing Jordan back on a bargain and matching his perceived value; they are one of 10 teams currently projected<\/a> to be over the salary cap.<\/p>\n

Should the sides eventually agree to an extension to stick together as they have several times before, Jordan feels optimistic about the team’s prospects — thanks in part to Shough’s emergence, but also due to the mindset any player of his caliber maintains.<\/p>\n

“I hope so,” Jordan said when asked if the Saints could be on track for a deep playoff run. “Isn’t that the goal? Ain’t nobody going the whole offseason, thinking like, man, I hope we just win three games. I’ll leave that to the Jets.”<\/p>\n

Suffice it to say, Gang Green likely won’t be in the running to sway Jordan away from the Big Easy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As for Jordan’s future, just where Year 16 takes place is to be determined.
