Cam Jordan is back on the New Orleans Saints for Year 16 after a resurgent, double-digit sack season in 2025. He's also carved his way back in to the NFL's ranking of the league's top 100 players.
A mainstay on the list throughout his career, Jordan has climbed back into the No. 100 and final spot in the rankings, which will be announced incrementally over the coming weeks. Jordan had climbed as high as No. 23 on the list, voted on by the players, prior to dropping out over the past few years.
"I just think he plays with a lot of heart. He plays with a lot of passion," said Cardinals TE Trey McBride. Jordan had 1.5 sacks of then-Arizona QB Kyler Murray in the season opener, which was a sign of things to come in his 10.5 sack season that led the team.

Jordan made it clear late in the 2025 season that he intended to continue playing despite his contract coming to an end. The Saints' 2011 first round pick entered free agency for the first time in his career, but ultimately ended up back in New Orleans, agreeing to a 1-year deal on the first day of the team's veteran minicamp. He currently sits at No. 17 on the all-time sacks list with 132, and would only need 7 more to climb into the top 10 all time.
The inclusion of Jordan means the Saints will return to the listing after being shut out in 2025, and it's likely they land at least one more entrant in WR Chris Olave. New Orleans used to be a frequent appearance in the rankings, landing seven players in the top 100 as recently as 2021.
