Cameron Jordan remains an interesting fit as a possible Chicago Bears free agency target.
We are eight days removed from the beginning of the early negotiation period for NFL free agents. And yet, the Bears have not made an impact move along the defense line. This isn’t to say that Chicago’s football team hasn’t done anything. But depth additions can take you only so far. However, if your team isn’t going to play in the deep end of the free agency pool, then piecing together veteran depth isn’t an awful alternative. And that is where Jordan comes into play.
I’m sure Bears fans saw this tweet from New Orleans Saints reporter Nick Underhill…

The dollars and cents need to make sense for Cameron Jordan
When it comes to a potential pursuit of Cameron Jordan, I think this quote (via Pro Football Talk) is an important one to keep in mind:
“As football players, we can only control what we can control. As much as I be like ‘Hell yeah, I want them to love me as much as I love them.’ Sometimes the business side of that makes you feel emotional. You gotta be able to take your emotions out of it. Of course, I’d love to be in New Orleans. At the same time, if the cents doesn’t make sense, we gotta find our own path. I know what I want to do, what I want to accomplish. If that doesn’t line up, then that’s fine as well.”
There are two main takeaways I have from reading the quote above. Firstly, Cameron Jordan is open to a return to the New Orleans Saints. This is understandable. After all, it is the only team he has known, and he has established himself as an all-time franchise great. However, Jordan also acknowledges that what he wants and what the team wants might not be the same thing. And if that is the case, then Jordan sounds open to taking his talents elsewhere.

With that being said, my second main takeaway is that Cameron Jordan sounds like someone who still wants to get paid. Jordan is coming off a season in which he collected 10.5 sacks, 15 quarterback hits, and 15 tackles-for-loss while playing on 54 percent of the defensive snaps and appearing in all 17 games for the Saints. Hence, I can understand why he would still value his worth in a major way as a free agent. But because of that, I have questions about his fit with the Bears.
Over The Cap’s latest estimates have the Bears with just $493,528 in available salary cap space. That isn’t even enough to sign the team’s draft class. I imagine the Bears will eventually get around to clearing up some additional cap space with contract restructures between now and when the 2026 NFL Draft opens its doors in April. But will they do enough to sign someone like Cameron Jordan? It is fair to ask that question at this stage of free agency.
In the end, it does not sound like Cameron Jordan is in a rush to decide. If you are a Bears fan who thinks adding Jordan would make sense, then you should view this as good news. Jordan taking his time in free agency allows Chicago to survey the market and consider alternatives before jumping into the fray.
