Cameron Jordan\u2019s extension, engineered by Doug Hendrickson of @Wasserman<\/a> and the Saints\u2018 VP of football administration Khai Harley, is a three-year, $52.5 million deal with a max of $55.5M that includes over $42 million in guaranteed money, per sources.<\/p>\n

New Orleans Saints Sign Cameron Jordan to Extension<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Let’s not also forget the emergence of Sheldon Rankins<\/strong> and Marcus Davenport<\/strong> for the Saints defensive line as well. Jordan also faces constant double teams against opposing offensive lines.<\/p>\n

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<\/a><\/strong>, Alvin Kamara<\/a><\/strong>, Marshon Lattimore<\/a>,\u00a0<\/strong>and others. Getting Jordan’s contract out of the way first means negotiations for Thomas’ new contract will be next on the agenda.<\/p>\n
