Aaron Rodgers isn’t the only veteran player who knows the upcoming season will be his last.
Defensive end Cameron Jordan confirmed that he’s coming back to the Saints for 2026 with a video posted to social media that also includes the words, “one final season.”
That’s a clear indication that Jordan, who turns 37 in July, plans to retire after this year.
The No. 24 overall pick of the 2011 draft, Jordan has spent his entire career with New Orleans. He became the franchise leader in sacks back in 2023 and has extended his lead, posting 132.0 over the course of his career. He registered 10.5 last season.
Jordan is also the Saints’ all-time leader in games played at 243, surpassing the 228 played by quarterback Drew Brees over 15 seasons.
The Saints will begin their 2026 season with two games on the road against Detroit and Baltimore. The club will have two of its last three regular-season matchups at home, playing the Cardinals in Week 16 and the division-rival Bucs in Week 18.
