New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is expected to sign a free agent contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, adding a new challenge for the New Orleans Saints. But team captain Cameron Jordan isn’t sweating it — he’s embracing the opportunity to compete against the best.
Jordan spoke with The Athletic’s Larry Holder, saying in a text message, “Our division just became even tougher. I can’t wait!!!”
But that wasn’t Jordan’s only public statement on the looming Brady-Buccaneers pairing. When the NFL’s official Twitter account shared a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport breaking the expected deal between Brady and the Buccaneers, Jordan responded with plenty of respect for what the legendary quarterback has accomplished:
Why ppl flexing like TB12 ain one of the 4Goat qb’s (DRew, P. Manning, TB12,argue a 4th) weaponized with mike Evans, godwin, howard, brate… our div Competition just got steep-er.

It’s clear that Jordan doesn’t intend to let his team take the 42-year-old passer lightly. Seeing Brady conduct an offense loaded with weapons against Jordan and his battle-tested Saints defense twice a year will make for must-see TV.
