Cam Jordan, the 36-year-old defensive end, is testing free agency for the first time in his 15-year NFL career with the New Orleans Saints. The team decided not to offer him a new deal before the March 11 free agency period, making him an unrestricted free agent.

Jordan has been a Saint since being drafted 24th overall in 2011, missing only two games in his entire career with the team. He's the franchise's all-time leader in sacks (132) and has been a key player on the defense, earning eight Pro Bowl selections.

He had a solid season, finishing with 47 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, 15 quarterback hits, 10.5 sacks (with four coming in the last three games), two pass deflections, and two forced fumbles.

Cam Jordan's got 132 sacks, ranking 22nd all-time, and he's eyeing the top-10 with a push to surpass Michael Strahan's 141.5. With seven seasons of 10+ sacks, including a 15.5-sack campaign in 2019, this veteran could be looking for a new team - and a Super Bowl ring.
