re: Saints and Cam Jordan reach 3 year extension

Im thinking showing players you’re willing to reward them for past performance when they were underpaid goes a long way in convincing the younger guys that taking less now will more than pay off for them in the end.

He said he was willing to take below market for his value (within reason) to stay, and he did. $17 mil for a premier 3 down DE who's never missed a game is a good deal. He could have gotten $20 mil on the open market (if he was a FA this year; 2 years down the road who knows).
