NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans Saints and Cam Jordan agreed to a record-breaking extension.
ESPN Senior NFL Insider Adam Schefter says the two-year deal is a $27.5 million guaranteed contract extension that will keep Jordan in New Orleans through the 2025 season
"I want to finish my career here. I want my storyline to be here. I would love that my story has been drafted here, kept here, been here," Jordan said.
The deal is the largest contract on average and guarantees for any defensive player in NFL history at the age of 34, according to Schefter.
Jordan has been selected to the Pro Bowl Eight times, and he is the Saints’ all-time leading franchise sack leader.
"I can't wait to give everything that I've been giving to the saints to the, to the city to the community, to my family, to continue doing so for the foreseeable future, which is currently, you know, three years. This year, next year, year 15. I get the chance to take Derek Carr back to Las Vegas. I get a chance for the Superbowl to come back to New Orleans, and then hopefully, by then I'll be looking for my second ring," Jordan said.
