Jordan announced on his Instagram that he will be returning for his 15th season in the NFL. He will be 36-years-old to start the season and in the last year of his contract. Spending his entire career with the Saints, Jordan has totaled 121.5 career sacks over 14 seasons but has just six over the last two. No longer the player he used to be, it is possible Jordan just plays out his contract into retirement.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Jordan signed a deal that freed up $1.5 million in cap space for the Saints. Jordan is just the latest Saint to re-work his deal as the team once again looks to get below the cap before the start of the new league year. A 13-year vet, Jordan has 117.5 career sacks to his name but managed just two sacks in 17 games last year. Jordan will be 35 at the start of next season and is clearly on the back nine of his career.

Jordan’s production saw quite a dip in 2023, but he attributed much of his struggles to an ankle injury that bothered him all season. Despite playing in all 17 games for the Saints this season, Jordan managed just 43 tackles and two sacks — his lowest sack total since his rookie season. Jordan is under contract with the Saints through 2025 and is owed $13 million next season. He carries a dead cap hit of nearly $49 million, meaning he’ll be on the roster as long as he decides to continue playing. His comments on Monday suggest he won’t be hanging things up anytime soon.

Jordan was a DNP on Wednesday but managed to get in limited practices on both Thursday and Friday to close out the week. Jordan has hit a bit of a wall this season, totaling 36 tackles and two sacks through 12 games. Jordan is on pace to finish the year with three sacks, which would mark his fewest since his rookie season when he managed just one sack in 16 games.
