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.

We all knew this was coming. Loomis always extends contracts for mediocre players.

We'll get to see if he earns it or becomes another pricey contract that we get little to nothing out of. I will say he isn't as a dominate player that can take over a game.

IDK I think he is a way above average DE that actually plays both ways. Its hard to really dominate when the whole O-line is focused on you because there are no threats from the LBs. I think our LB core got a lot better and it will help his game.

Nah. I don't have a problem with this. He's better than mediocre. I wouldn't call him top 10 but he's solid. If he gets back to 2013 form, no one will gripe about this contract.

I like the signing just wanna see numbers like '13 season...

We were awful last year, how much of it was on him? I don't know but they obviously feel not much. He's not a one man wrecking crew that's for sure but he has the right attitude and ability if others are carrying their load around him. I think they feel they have that now.
