While everybody either praised or dogged the Cam Newton deal another (Cam)eron got a nice check also. Defensive End Cameron Jordan was drafted the same year as Newton and received a five year extension as well. It might be a good time to file for a name change if you are in the NFL and cash in on the Cameron sweepstakes.
The New Orleans Saints gave Jordan a five year up to $60 million extension with $33.8 guaranteed and $27 million due in the first two years. If Jordan balls out during the first three years of his contract he may be in line for another nice pay day.
Jordan has had 29.0 sacks in his four year careers, 28.0 of them have been in the last three years, highlighted by his 12.5 in the 2013 season that landed him in the Pro Bowl.
Word on the street is the Pittsburgh Steelers may have to use the Jordan deal as an outline on how they are going to have to pay Defensive End Cameron Heyward soon. I don’t know if I label Jordan an elite defensive end, but that’s not the point get that money Cameron get that money.
P.S. file for that name changed fellas its good money in the move. (lol)
