The New Orleans Saints recently signed Cam Jordan to a new one-year contract, setting the veteran defensive end up to make franchise history.
Cam Jordan is already a New Orleans Saints legend. The veteran defensive end is the franchise’s all-time sack leader with 121.5 sacks, and he’s set to play his entire career with New Orleans. That became realistic on Wednesday, when Jordan agreed to a new deal to keep him with the Saints for the 2025 season. He originally had a cap hit north of $20 million for the final year of his contract, but took a pay cut to remain with the team.
The new deal not only gives Jordan the opportunity to end his career in New Orleans, it gives him a chance to set a new franchise record. Currently, Jordan is second on the list of players who played the most games for the Saints. His 226 games in a New Orleans uniform trails only Drew Brees (228). If Jordan plays just three games in 2025, he’ll officially be the franchise record holder for games played.

It just feels right for that record to be held by Brees or Jordan. Since Jordan was drafted by the Saints in the first round of the 2011 Draft, he has given everything to the team and the city. His commitment level has never been questioned, and that’s reflected in the illustrious career he put together in the last 14 years.
Jordan is a eight-time Pro Bowler, and has been named to an All-Pro team three times. He was also apart of the NFL’s 2010s All-Decade Team. His resume as a legend in New Orleans, and the NFL in general, is stamped. He’ll only add to that resume in year 15.
For as decorated as his career his, he’s been open about missing the one thing he wants most: a Super Bowl. As Jordan and the Saints’ other core veterans return for one last run, they’ll attempt to do something special and get the Saints back on top.
