Veteran defensive end Cameron Jordan is set to enter free agency after dedicating his entire 15-season NFL career to the New Orleans Saints, according to an ESPN report released Thursday.<\/p>\n
The eight-time Pro Bowl selection will not receive a new deal from New Orleans by next week\u2019s deadline and will hit the open market. Jordan, who will celebrate his 37th birthday in July, recently finished a two-year deal worth $27.5 million in 2025. According to ESPN\u2019s reporting, the veteran defender is interested in continuing his career for a 16th season.<\/p>\n
During the most recent campaign, Jordan appeared in every regular-season contest as a starter, recording 47 total tackles alongside 10.5 quarterback takedowns. His statistical line also included 15 tackles behind the line of scrimmage, 15 quarterback pressures, two forced turnovers, and one fumble recovery.<\/p>\n
Throughout his professional career, Jordan has accumulated 132 quarterback sacks, establishing a Saints franchise milestone. His complete career statistics show 763 total tackles, 175 tackles for loss, 17 forced turnovers, 12 fumble recoveries, and 67 defended passes across 243 regular-season appearances with 242 starts.<\/p>\n
Jordan earned Pro Bowl recognition in 2013, 2015, and consecutively from 2017 through 2022, while receiving first-team All-Pro honors in 2017. His eight Pro Bowl selections represent the highest total for any defensive player in Saints franchise history.<\/p>\n
The Saints acquired Jordan through the first round of the 2011 NFL draft, selecting him 24th overall following his collegiate career at California.<\/p>\n
