However, this contract extension means much more than just financial recognition. With this settlement, Cameron Jordan will retain his status as the Saints franchise’s “all-time sack leader” through the 2025 season. A truly remarkable achievement for the talented player.
Cameron Jordan is now 34 years old and it is likely that he will end his career in a Saints shirt. He has been a trusted face for the franchise since his pick in the first round of the 2011 NFL draft and has signed his fourth multi-year contract with the team. A staple on defense, Jordan has proven himself year after year with his impressive performance.
He previously signed a three-year, $52.5 million contract that was renewed with the Saints in 2019. He was originally set to play out the final year of that contract next season, but the new deal now allows him another strong presence on the pitch for his beloved team.
Sack-Leader der Saints
With 192 games in the New Orleans Saints jersey, Cameron Jordan has the fourth most appearances in franchise history, according to ESPN’s Katherine Terrell. There is every hope that he will rise to the No. 2 spot this season, just behind legend and former Saints quarterback Drew Brees.
Jordan himself was overjoyed after signing the contract and said enthusiastically: “Luckily I don’t think I’ll ever have to see myself in anything but black and gold.” His loyalty and dedication to the team are unmistakable.

Cameron Jordan’s stats speak for themselves: he has 639 tackles, 150 tackles for loss and an impressive 115.5 sacks in an impressive career. He trails only Von Miller, who leads active players in this category with 123.5 sacks.
This contract extension is undoubtedly great news for the Saints and their fans. Look forward to more impressive performances from Cameron Jordan as he continues to bring his skills and experience to the team’s defense. It’s a proud moment for the franchise to continue having a player of such caliber and dedication on the roster.
