Cameron Jordan discusses approaching top-20 all time sacks leaders

Cameron Jordan is two sacks away from entering the top-20 in NFL history. With no plans of retirement, it’s within his reach, but will he get there with the Saints?

Cameron Jordan is already has the most sacks in New Orleans Saints history, but he’s approaching another historic achievement. With just two more sacks, Jordan will crack the top-20 all time sack leaders in NFL history.

Jordan was asked during his appearance on CBS Sports ‘That Other Pregame Show’ if reaching that milestone is a motivating factor for him to continue playing after 14 years. He didn’t directly answer if it was motivation, but he did clarify that he only needs two sacks to pass Robert Mathis. At the least, it’s something that’s on his mind.

Jordan has made it clear he isn’t retiring. It’s a point he alludes to at the end of the segment saying, “We don’t know what happens with the head coach or the defensive coordinator.”

With another year on the horizon, Jordan has a good chance of getting two sacks next season. He showed a late burst in the season that suggests the ability to get after the quarterback is still present. It might not be a season long trait, but the ability is still there.

Jordan also showed no real plan towards retirement. Instead, it looks like he’s trying to get a ring: “I don’t have a set number of years. You give me a Super Bowl in black and gold, and I could be talking differently.”

Whenever that happens, that will likely be his curtain call. If it doesn’t happen soon, we’ll have to see how long he tries to hold on.
