"The Saints have done nothing but show that they want me to be here. Now, at what price? Some would say half off this last year. Can't do that again. Jordan reworked his contract last year to decrease his base pay while adding incentives for sacks and playing time, maxing out $2 million in sack bonuses."
"I mean, the moment I got drafted black and gold, I figured I'd die in gold and black. However you put it, Cam Jordan and Black and Gold have been synonymous. And I've always worked to have it stay that way. Jordan was selected by the Saints in the first round of the 2011 draft and has started 242 of 243 possible games."
Cameron Jordan, 36-year-old Saints defensive end with 15 seasons and 132 career sacks, will become a free agent when the new league year begins Wednesday at 4 p.m. E.T. His contract automatically voids without a new deal, leaving the Saints with $18.76 million in dead cap. Jordan reworked his contract last year with incentive-based pay, earning $2 million in sack bonuses while recording 10.5 sacks. He stated he cannot accept another similar deal this year. Jordan has consistently expressed desire to finish his career in New Orleans, where he was drafted in 2011 and started 242 of 243 possible games, missing only one due to injury.
