The New Orleans Saints and veteran defensive end Cameron Jordan have agreed to a one-year contract extension, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The deal ensures that the franchise's defensive cornerstone remains in New Orleans with a contract structured to reward on-field production.
Per Rapoport, the extension carries a maximum value of $11 million. The base value of the agreement is set at $7.5 million, which includes a $6.15 million signing bonus and a $1.35 million base salary. Additionally, Jordan can earn up to $3.5 million in incentives tied specifically to his sack totals during the season.
Jordan, an eight-time Pro Bowler, has spent his entire career with the Saints since being selected in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft. He currently stands as the franchise's all-time leader in sacks, and this latest agreement solidifies his role as the leader of the New Orleans defensive front for the foreseeable future.
