Cam Jordan Set for Free Agency After 15 Seasons with New Orleans Saints Defensive end Cam Jordan, a beloved figure among New Orleans Saints fans, is anticipated to enter free agency next week after failing to secure a new contract with the team. The 36-year-old player, who has spent his entire 15-year NFL career with the Saints, has expressed his desire to retire as a member of the franchise. However, NFL insider Adam Schefter reported that Jordan will pursue free agency for the first time in his career, potentially leading to a new opportunity in the league. Despite his long tenure with the Saints, Jordan remains open to exploring options beyond New Orleans. Schefter noted that the player plans to play a 16th season in the NFL, though the direction of his future remains uncertain. The Saints drafted Jordan in the first round of the 2011 NFL draft, and he has become a cornerstone of the team’s defense. Over his career, Jordan has only missed two games, one due to a COVID-19 absence and another stemming from an eye injury. Jordan’s contributions on the field have been significant, making him the franchise’s all-time sacks leader with 132 stops. Last season, he recorded 10.5 sacks at the age of 36, marking his seventh time reaching double-digit sacks in his career. His durability and effectiveness have solidified his status as a key player for the Saints. Beyond his on-field achievements, Jordan has been deeply involved in the New Orleans community. He regularly visits schools across the city to engage with young athletes, emphasizing the importance of education and perseverance. In 2025, he was nominated for the Walter Peyton Man of the Year award, recognizing his commitment to charitable work and community service.#nfl #adam_schefter #new_orleans_saints #cam_jordan #walter_payton_man_of_the_year
