Cam Jordan Free Agency Update: Saints' Legend Recently Cleared Out Locker

"As much as I love the city of New Orleans and want to be in the city of New Orleans — if things that don't add up to what I consider value happen, then I understand the business nature of it all," Jordan said.

Jordan also mentioned that he recently took a trip back to the Saints' facility to clean out his locker "in the off-chance" that he doesn't end up back in New Orleans. He seems to have done at least a little bit of planning in case he signs with a different organization.

“Even if I’m in a different jersey, I’m still going to make it back to New Orleans 5 or 6 times a year," Jordan said when asked about his free agency.

Jordan’s market value, according to Spotrac, is currently $6.8 million for a one-year deal. He didn't appear concerned about the financial aspect of his upcoming decision, but was more interested in a place where he could contribute and compete.

If New Orleans were to lose Jordan to another franchise, the Saints would be missing more than just a high-level contributor. Jordan has served as the voice of the defense and the entire team for most of the past decade, something New Orleans would need to replace.

If he does ultimately walk, it marks the end of an era that spanned nearly two decades of Saints football. He currently sits at 243 games played, the most in franchise history, having surpassed even Hall of Famer Drew Brees.
