From The Insiders on @NFLNetwork: It was Cam Jordan day in New Orleans, the kind of day that one of the #Saints legends

What happened: Cam Jordan officially signed a one-year contract with the New Orleans Saints on Tuesday, coinciding with a city-wide celebration of his 16-year career. The franchise's all-time sack leader confirmed during a press conference that the 2026 season will be his final year in the NFL.

Why it matters: The return of the eight-time Pro Bowler provides a veteran anchor for a Saints defense coming off a resurgent 2025 campaign. Cam Jordan recorded 10.5 sacks last season and now sits just seven sacks away from entering the NFL's all-time top 10.

By the numbers: Career Sacks: 132.0 (Saints Record); Games Played: 243 (Saints Record); Pro Bowls: 8; 2025 Sacks: 10.5

What to watch: Jordan will report to the Ochsner Sports Performance Center today for the start of mandatory minicamp as he begins his farewell tour.
