Cam Jordan is returning to the Saints in 2025 [Saints & Cam agreed to pay cut, 10.3M savings]

So we are basically paying him 4.5M to stick around as the 3rd DE and if he gets some sacks then its 6.5M (8M if you count previous 1.5M guaranteed salary). That's about half his previous salary. I don't know why we don't walk away from aging players.
When you have a player that is still good at what he does AND he decides to take a 6 million dollar paycut to keep doing it, you keep him.
