bummer. Big money for a middle of the road end. Solid, great guy but too much $ for his production.

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

Hard to like that deal.

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

Steady, Reliable and likeable guy but that is JJ Watt type money and Jordan is not that level of player.

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

JJ Wat is going to get $100 million.

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

would have liked to trade him

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

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

Will this prevent our defense from "Feeling it tomorrow"

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

He was Houston's only player on offense and defense last year so he deserves it

I would of capped Jordan at no more than 5 years for 35 mil.

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

He's technically only guaranteed $33 million, so you're about right.

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

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.

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

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....

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

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.

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

I don't get the disapproval here.

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

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

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

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

Cam Jordan is "part of the solution"....

- Sean Payton

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

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

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

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.

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

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

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

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.

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

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

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

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.

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

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.

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

Awesome! Now we have him and JG!!!!!!! Can't wait to see him start showing up half the time too. What a joke.

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

For this type of money I want to see "Cam Jordan vs Packers" in every single game. Otherwise we overpaid for player who occasionally flashes potential.

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

Boy, there sure are a lot of you that "think" they know more than management. All you are doing is proving how little you do know. Of course, it is the same small group of suspects. We all know who you are and no longer take what you say with any expectation of reality.

:rolleyes:

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

Guessing that's a hit to JG... i don't get the hate for the guy. Leads the league in QB hurries and comes out with a 10+ sack season; all that when everyone around him took a nose dive.

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

With Akeem Hicks contract around the corner I would've like to see which one of them go all out to earn that contract this year

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

I'm pretty sure any players who had issues with "showing up" last year are no longer on this team.

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

But you cared to post on it? Pretty sure you do the same thing on moves you dislike. So welcome to joining the "usual suspects".:dunce:

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

Thats a bit harsh, unless I'm not in that group.:p

In that case party on Garth!!!

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

Feel free to post a former post where I was so critical of a management move and I will buy you a dinner at Commanders.

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

No, you manage to skate gracefully by is most cases, while the other deliver a hard body check.

(for those of you that do not know, that is a hockey term fitting the analogy)

Got to take care of those that don't know sports, you know?

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

I don't get the whole notion of "you know less than the management/front office/coaches, so you shouldn't argue against or question their decisions."

If that would be the case, this whole forum would just be a bunch of homers cheering on every single move the Saints ever make without a fault - I for one don't see the point in that.

This is not directed at anyone in particular, just against this particular evolution of forum behavior that I've come across on various forums more frequently in recent times.

Re: Cam Jordan Sign Extension - 5 year 60 million
 

quick look at cap hits WITHOUT looking dates contracts signed and such. Also not knowing the details of the Jordan contract

Charles Johnson $20,020,000
Mario Williams $19,400,000
Robert Quinn $16,744,111
Jason Pierre-Paul $14,813,000
Calais Campbell $14,750,000
J.J. Watt $13,969,000

Chris Long $12,500,000

Cameron Wake $10,450,000
Everson Griffen $8,200,000
Cliff Avril $8,000,000
Michael Bennett $8,000,000

so all in all it would appears to be a solid deal given the cap increases and the insane contract dollars we are talking about in today's NFL.

at the end of this deal Cam could end up being a bargain. Even if he just turns in a solid performance over that time period.

Once again gotta see how this break downs cap wise before a thumbs up or down rating is given

It is all about cap hit
