Cameron Jordan is on pace to pass Drew Brees and make Saints history
Cameron Jordan restructuring his contract to remain a part of the New Orleans Saints in 2025 essentially ensures Jordan will pass Drew Brees for the most games played in team history.
The legendary quarterback led New Orleans into battle 228 times over the course of his 15 year stint. Jordan has suited up for the Saints 226 times since being drafted by the Saints in 2011. If he plays just three more games in 2025, Jordan will find himself at the top of the list.
Brees and Jordan are already in rarified air. They're the only players to ever play 200 games in a Saints uniform and are full seasons away from the next closest player. This embodies the durability and quality of play of both of these men. Most players don't get to play that long, and the players who do tend to move teams at some point in that span. Brees started his career with the San Diego Chargers, but Jordan has never played for any other team.
Durability is Jordan's defining trait. The defensive end has only missed one game in his entire career. If he keeps that streak up next season, Jordan will blow by Brees' record. It's an impressive record to hold regardless of position, but to do it as a defensive lineman takes the honor to a different level.
