Overview
- Dennis Allen, asked Monday about signing the longtime Saints star, said there has not been much internal discussion and that the staff feels good about the defensive-end room.
- Cam Jordan remains an unsigned free agent after 15 seasons in New Orleans, and he produced 10.5 sacks in 2025.
- Chicago has not added a defensive end this offseason and is banking on growth from returnees like Dayo Odeyingbo and 2025 second-round pick Shemar Turner.
- The Bears finished 22nd in the NFL with 35 sacks last season, and Allen said the focus now is on fixing fundamentals in the pass rush rather than adding a veteran.
- Money could be a hurdle since Jordan’s projected price sits around the mid-to-high single-digit millions per year and the Bears have limited cap space after accounting for their draft class, while some analysts expect him to re-sign with the Saints.
