Cameron Jordan Fantasy

The New Orleans Saints restructured the contracts of defensive ends Cameron Jordan and Tanoh Kpassagnon on Thursday to create $12.445 million in salary cap space for the 2022 season, according to a source. The Saints also re-signed exclusive-rights free agents Carl Granderson and Jalen Dalton on Thursday. This will be the second straight year that Jordan has restructured his contract to help New Orleans get back under the salary cap. Jordan made his fifth straight Pro Bowl (seventh overall) by recording 59 tackles (38 solo), 13 tackles for loss, 22 QB hits, six passes defensed, two forced fumbles and 12.5 sacks in 16 games last year. He has double-digit sacks in six of his 11 NFL seasons.

New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday and was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, according to a source. If Jordan is vaccinated, he will need to be asymptomatic and return two negative tests 24 hours apart in order to be cleared to play in Week 14 against the New York Jets. If he is unvaccinated, he'll be quarantined for 10 days and will be inactive this Sunday. With a nice matchup against the Jets this weekend, New Orleans would be missing one of their best pass-rushers if Jordan doesn't get cleared in time. The 32-year-old six-time Pro Bowler has racked up 38 tackles (22 solo), six tackles for loss, 13 QB hits, a forced fumble and four sacks in 12 games so far in 2021.

New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan, who ranks second in Saints history with 94.5 career sacks in 10 seasons, said he feels rejuvenated this year and is "more hungry now than ever." The soon-to-be 32-year-old is the longest-tenured player on the team with Drew Brees and Thomas Morstead no longer around. He said he still has plenty left in the tank after producing just 7.5 sacks last year after a career-high 15.5 in 2019. With Jordan's help, the Saints rank in the top five in the league in both yards and points allowed since Week 3 of the 2017 season, and the rank No. 1 in run defense. The Saints defense is already one of the stronger units in the NFL, but if Jordan can return to his level of production in 2019, they'll be scary good.
