New Orleans Saints Sign Cameron Jordan to Extension
The 30-year-old put together another solid season for the Saints this past season. Jordan put up 12 sacks, 18 tackles for loss, and 49 total tackles. This is after making first-team All-Pro in the 2017 season. This season, Jordan made Second All-Team Pro.
Let’s not also forget the emergence of Sheldon Rankins and Marcus Davenport for the Saints defensive line as well. Jordan also faces constant double teams against opposing offensive lines.
This was a big step for the Saints organization. Over the next couple of years, the Saints will be faced with paying some of their stars such as Michael Thomas, Alvin Kamara, Marshon Lattimore, and others. Getting Jordan’s contract out of the way first means negotiations for Thomas’ new contract will be next on the agenda.
