New Orleans Saints defensive end Cam Jordan will be testing free agency for the first time in his NFL career after the team decided not to offer a new deal ahead of the March 11th free agency period.

[p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/jordan-cameron/Ee58MNLG/"]Jordan[/a], 36, has spent his entire 15-year NFL career with the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/new-orleans-saints/lSi5prB1/"]Saints[/a] since they drafted him 24th overall in the 2011 NFL Draft - missing just two games in that entire time span.[/p][p]He finished this past season with 47 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, 15 quarterback hits, 10.5 sacks (four in the final three games), two pass deflections, and two forced fumbles.[/p][embed guid="80c3da0c-ee9c-4bd9-9809-c88d87474795" url="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/2029615525882364305?s=20" social-type="twitter" /][p]Jordan is currently 22nd on the all-time NFL sacks list with 132.
