The contract details for New Orleans Saints edge Cameron Jordan are coming out after signing a one-year deal with the team on Tuesday, with the expectation that he'll finish out his career in black and gold.
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Saints gave Jordan a one-year contract worth $7.5 million, with $3.5 million in sacks incentives that could raise the total value to as much as $11 million. The team also gave Jordan a $6.15 million signing bonus up front. We're still waiting to see how the deal is structured, which specific sacks totals he must hit to earn those incentives, and what it means for Jordan's salary cap hit. As NewOrleans.Football's Nick Underhill observed, it's a raise from the $6.05 million base salary Jordan was paid last season after accepting a pay cut.
This deal keeps the franchise's all-time sack leader in New Orleans with an opportunity to retire as a Saint. Sixteen years into his career, Jordan is still a very impactful piece of this team, proving he can produce at a high level after recording 10.5 sacks last season. While his role may look a bit different than it did in prior years, his production, leadership, and experience remain invaluable to a Saints defense looking to take a step forward in 2026. Jordan now gets the chance to finish his storied career where it began, adding another chapter to what has already been a Hall of Fame-caliber run in the black and gold.
