The Saints and defensive end Cam Jordan agree on a three-year, 53-million dollar contract extension. Jordan spoke with reporters after Tuesday’s minicamp practice and said he wants to finish his career with the Black and Gold.
“I’ve always said that New Orleans has become home, my kids are from New Orleans, I’ll be in New Orleans until they decide they don’t want me here anymore,” said Jordan.
The new deal will keep Jordan under contract in New Orleans through the 2023 season. The 2001 first-round pick is entering his ninth season. The four-time Pro Bowler has recorded 71.5 career sacks and has appeared in 128 games, making 127 starts, never missing a game.
The 29-year-old says he’s still striving for the ultimate team goal, which is to win a Super Bowl and hopefully a second.
Saints coach Sean Payton says the contract extension for Jordan is deserved and he believes wide receiver Michael Thomas will be the next Saint to get a new contract.
