Saints eight-time Pro Bowl DE Cameron Jordan returning for 15th season with reworked contract

The face of the New Orleans Saints franchise isn’t going anywhere.

Cameron Jordan and the Saints agreed to a revised contract and he’ll return in 2025 for his 15th season, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported.

Jordan revealed his return on social media.

The 35-year-old eight-time Pro Bowler is coming off a 2024 season in which he had just 34 tackles and four sacks, but owned a $20 million cap number for his age-36 campaign. Jordan and New Orleans clearly came to a resolution for him to continue his outstanding career in the Big Easy.

 

A fixture in the community, Jordan was the Saints’ Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year nominee in 2024 for the third time in his career.

He saw a potential exodus coming as evidenced by him soaking in the setting following a loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in the Saints’ home finale last season. Jordan also had previously stated he intended to play in 2025 even if he wasn’t with the Saints. That won’t be necessary.

 

Instead, he’s staying put with New Orleans hoping to help the club turn around its fortunes from a 5-12 showing last season and achieve some milestones.

Through 14 seasons, he’s earned a spot on the Hall of Fame’s All-2010s Team, stacked up six double-digit sack seasons and posted 233 QB hits, 716 tackles and 121.5 sacks.

Jordan’s career numbers outline how impactful he has been for the franchise.

He’s played 226 games — incredibly missing only two in his career — for the Saints, which is second all time behind Drew Brees’ 228. His 121.5 sacks are also second in club chronicle behind only Hall of Famer Rickey Jackson’s 123. One can surmise Jordan will surpass both standards with one more season in New Orleans.
