Cameron Jordan is back for another season with the New Orleans Saints, and the Hall of Fame conversation around him is starting to get louder.
That’s the latest sign for a franchise veteran who’s still very much part of the picture on a young Saints roster. ESPN’s Bill Barnwell recently slotted Jordan in the “on the cusp” category for Pro Football Hall of Fame consideration, a projection that puts the New Orleans star in striking distance of Canton if he keeps producing.
“On the cusp: Cameron Jordan,” Barnwell writes. “I could see an argument that Jordan has already done enough to get in after a 10.5-sack season in 2025, and even a six-sack season in 2026 would surely be enough to get him over the hump.”
Barnwell’s read is pretty clear: Jordan may already have built a résumé strong enough to merit serious Hall of Fame discussion, and another solid year at age 37 would only strengthen that case. He also noted that Jordan could still get in with his current numbers, though the path might not be a fast one if he doesn’t follow this with one more strong season.
The full body of work is what makes the argument so compelling. Jordan is an eight-time Pro Bowler, a one-time first-team All-Pro, and a member of the Hall of Fame All-2010’s team. In 15 seasons and 243 games, he’s piled up 67 passes defended, 17 forced fumbles, 132 sacks, 763 tackles, 175 tackles for loss, and 248 QB hits.
He doesn’t carry the same superstar ceiling as Myles Garret or Micah Parsons, and he doesn’t have the all-time accolades of Khalil Mack. But the production has been steady, substantial, and impossible to ignore. Barnwell’s projection puts Jordan right where he belongs for now: on the edge of enshrinement, with a very real shot to punch his ticket once his career is finished.

Drew Brees Gives Saints Fans A Canton Moment They'll Never Forget
Drew Brees is set to get his Hall of Fame week underway in Canton, Ohio, where he is expected to meet with reporters before delivering his enshrinement speech in 2026. For Saints fans, it is a fitting next chapter for the quarterback who defined the modern era of the franchise and helped turn New Orleans into a team with true championship expectations.
The moment carries extra weight because Brees will become the first Saints player selected to the Hall of Fame on the first ballot, a milestone that reflects both his career and his place in the organizations history. Family members, former coach Sean Payton, owner Gayle Benson and plenty of Saints supporters are expected to be there, giving the weekend the feel of a reunion as much as a celebration. [Read more 🡒]
Saints Camp Darlings Are Suddenly Making The Roster Battle Interesting
Training camp has a way of turning long shots into legitimate conversations, and a handful of Saints newcomers are doing exactly that in the early stages of practice. Kicker Tanner Brown, cornerback Jayden Price, tight end Moliki Matavao, defensive end Michael Heldman and wide receiver Barion Brown have each surfaced as names worth tracking, with their different backgrounds and skill sets giving New Orleans a deeper look at some of the younger players trying to carve out a place.
For a roster that always has a few spots up for grabs, the appeal here is in how varied the competition has become. Brown brings a special-teams angle, Price is trying to make his mark in the secondary, Matavao offers size and versatility at tight end, Heldman has shown enough at defensive end to stay in the mix, and Barion Brown adds another intriguing option at receiver. None of them arrived with much fanfare, but camp has a habit of rewarding the players who keep showing up in the right moments. [Read more 🡒]
Saints Fans Have A Real Reason To Watch No. 38 This Summer
The Saints are still months away from opening the 2026 regular season in Detroit, but one of the more intriguing roster battles already has a familiar number attached to it. Reserve defensive back Jayden Price, who narrowly missed the 2025 active roster, is making a strong push to stick this summer, and hes doing it while wearing No. 38, a jersey with a little extra history for New Orleans fans to keep an eye on.
That number has belonged to some notable Saints over the years, including George Rogers, whose place in the teams record book and Saints Hall of Fame status give No. 38 a certain weight around the building. Price is not trying to live up to that legacy so much as earn his own place in it, and with the competition for spots tightening as camp approaches, he has a real chance to make the number matter again.
