Saints extend defensive end Cameron Jordan through 2020
METAIRIE, La. (AP) The New Orleans Saints and starting defensive end Cameron Jordan have agreed on a contract extension through the 2020 season.
Jordan's agent, Doug Hendrickson of Relativity Football, said the five-year extension, signed Tuesday, is worth up to $60 million with $34 million guaranteed.
Jordan was New Orleans' first of two first-round draft choices in 2011 and was entering the final season of his rookie contract.
He has 29 sacks and five forced fumbles in his career, including a single-season-high 12 1/2 sacks in 2013. Last season, his sack total dipped to 7 1/2 as New Orleans' defense struggled as a whole, ranking 31st in the NFL.
