Cam Jordan is braced for uncharted territory as a free agent for the first time in his NFL career, but the New Orleans Saints stalwart insists he is not done sacking quarterbacks just yet.Â
The 36-year-old just posted his highest sack tally since 2021 with 10.5 during the 2025 regular season, rising to 132 in a career spent entirely in the 'Big Easy'.
Rare uncertainty over his future looms this offseason with the 2011 first-round pick out of contract, having restructured his deal to turn much of his salary into incentives heading into the 2025 campaign. He bet on himself, and the return would suggest it paid off.
"For the first time in forever, I'm not under contract, which I've never not been under contract. Fifteen seasons, I've always signed extensions. Now I'm just taking the right meetings," Jordan told Your Site NFL.
"I'm in Super Bowl week, I'm on TV some of this week, I'm talking to some producers, I'm taking the right meetings to put myself in the right mental space, head space, and of course, my physical space has been phenomenal since I was inception.
"Do I come work for Your Site? Do I go check out Fox? Do I go check out CBS?"
Jordan was speaking to Your Site on Alcatraz Island ahead of Super Bowl 60 between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks in Santa Clara, California this Sunday.
"Taking all different avenues, there's things that you have to say, 'What am I okay with? What do I want?'," he continued. "I would love another season like this season where I had 10-and-a-half sacks personally. That puts me in the 140s bracket, and now I'm talking in third person for the rest of my life.
"I like the idea of that. I win the Super Bowl, and that's the cream of the crop. That's like you just walk away knowing that you've accomplished everything. Or you go towards media, and you say, 'hey, this is a whole new path, and I love venturing into the new'."
Jordan speaks like a man with unfinished business, buoyed up by a strong finish to the season that would remind the league of his ability to hurt the best football puts in his way.
The pleasure of hunting quarterbacks remains unwavering. And he wants more.
"Do I enjoy being somebody's nightmare? Absolutely," said Jordan. "I love knocking, knocking down quarterbacks and knowing somewhere out there, their family is like, 'oh, he's going to be alright, right?'
"I loved sacking Matt Ryan back in the day. And now we're on to whoever the new quarterback's going to be. I know where Kirk Cousins is going to be. I appreciate him. I've sacked him wherever he's gone. So as long as he continues being around, I like that for me."
The Saints are coming off a 6-11 season under first-year head coach Kellen Moore, though they won four of their last five amid an impressive finish from rookie quarterback Tyler Shough.
Jordan's side have not reached the playoffs since 2020, when they were beaten by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Divisional Round.
The closest he has come to a Super Bowl was in 2018 when the Saints suffered a 26-23 overtime defeat to the Los Angeles Rams at the NFC Championship Game.
"I've been knocking on the door. And that being said, when I'm not able to play and when I've been able to work the Super Bowl week, it's a major trade-off," said Jordan.
"I'd rather play any day of the week. But that being said, I understand that's how special it is to get into the Super Bowl. I mean, played 15 years, all with the same team, and haven't seen a Super Bowl from them for our organisation in 17 years.
"So it's just like the timing. I'm old enough to know that we've achieved greatness and young enough to not have achieved it myself."
