That's not even close to JJ Watt money...

I don't see anything wrong with that deal, it could've been worse

I agree. Guy is dependable, rarely gets hurt, and he's good against the run. Yes he had a down year but so did everyone else on defense. That is the standard rate for a DE of his caliber.

Will this prevent our defense from "Feeling it tomorrow"

There's not a thing wrong with it.... The defense overall was bad last year and he is a player who gets that. Knows he can be better... If you don't give him this standard deal and lock him up then when the season is over and he has put together his 13 sack season you would have to give him 90 million... Its smart to do it now....

It's a solid deal imo. It's a good bit less than what we would have had to extend him for prior to the 2014 season. He's still just 25.

I just wonder how each one of us can get a solid deal like that too?

I don't get the disapproval here.

Cam should be in the top 5 in sacks/hurries again this year.

It's probably because we remember how bad the Smith and Grant deals ended up being after not looking too bad initially, especially Grant.

I'm kind of on the fence with this one, the NFL.com article about this mentioned that Jordan is a good fit for either a 4-3 or a 3-4, but I think that is the problem - he fits multiple schemes, but rarely excels in any of them.

Still, he's a high character guy with a good pedigree, so the Saints could've done a lot worse.
