NFL Free Agency: Chiefs Star Posts Cryptic Tweet About Saints' Cam Jordan

Jones cut through the free agency noise with a short, cryptic nod to the Saints' legend, saying "Cam Jordan..."

It's not an official recruitment, but it doesn't have to be. Jones, fresh off another dominant season with the Chiefs, is fully aware of what a veteran like Jordan could contribute to Kansas City's defensive line. The idea of pairing Jones with a rejuvenated Jordan, coming off a resurgent 10.5-sack campaign, would pose a nightmare for opposing offensive coordinators.

While fans hold their breath, Jordan remains blunt on his free agency. He told the Associated Press last week that many uncertainties remain.

“We shall see what happens,” Jordan said. “It’s obvious that I have to be a free agent. What else would you call a player without a contract?”

It's a fair point for a player who has been the face of the Saints for 15 seasons. While the Saints would love to bring him back, it's clear that Jordan is open to all options. If Mickey Loomis doesn't extend a reasonable offer, the 94% chance of him returning — a number that Jordan joked about earlier this offseason — might drop to zero.

Kansas City has just over $21 million in available cap space, according to Over The Cap, though the signings of running back Kenneth Walker II and tight end Travis Kelce could lower the available space when those moves become official. Jordan has a projected market value of $6.8 million, according to Spotrac, but may be willing to take even less for an opportunity to contend for a Super Bowl.
