Overview
- Jordan agreed to the one-year, incentive-laden contract during a visit to the Saints facility, a move confirmed Tuesday by multiple outlets and the team.
- He announced the 2026 season will be his final year and said finishing his entire career in New Orleans was a key factor in accepting the deal.
- Jordan did not practice at the start of mandatory minicamp because he must complete a team physical, though he will attend meetings and be integrated into the locker-room leadership group.
- The 36-year-old comes off a resurgent 2025 that included 10.5 sacks and the franchise record 132 career sacks, making him a likely rotational pass rusher who can still produce in sub-packages.
- The short, incentive-focused structure helps the Saints manage cap space and snap planning while giving Jordan a chance to bolster his Hall of Fame case and mentor a deeper edge group.
