Chase Young Urges Saints to Bring Back Cameron Jordan as Free Agency Lingers

Young’s public plea underscores an unsettled leadership question for New Orleans while Jordan weighs whether to return, sign elsewhere, or move into media.

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.
