Overview
- Cameron Jordan remains an unsigned free agent even as the Saints prepare to hold their mandatory minicamp later this month, leaving his roster status unresolved.
- Chase Young publicly lobbied for Jordan to re-sign during an NFL Network appearance, calling Jordan a locker-room leader, mentor and a “gold jacket” candidate.
- Jordan, a 15-year veteran and eight-time Pro Bowler, produced 10.5 sacks and 32 combined tackles last season, which keeps him attractive to the Saints and other teams.
- Saints general manager Mickey Loomis has reported an offer is still on the table while observers note symbolic signs at the facility, such as Jordan not currently having a locker assigned.
- If Jordan does not re-sign, the team will lean more heavily on Young for on-field production and locker-room leadership, and Jordan’s decision could include signing elsewhere or pursuing broadcasting.
