Cameron Jordan trashes Cleveland in response to Browns free-agency question

New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan was asked about signing with the Browns, and it did not go over well.

Cameron Jordan’s contract in New Orleans isn’t up until 2024 at the earliest, as the Saints can void the final two years of his deal that offseason, per Spotrac. At that point, he will be 35 years old, and likely on the back end of his career.

But even if Jordan becomes a free agent, he wants nothing to do with the Cleveland Browns. On Twitter, a fan asked Jordan if he was trying to take his talents to Cleveland, ala a reverse LeBron James, and the Saints defensive end was blunt in his response.

No amount of money? Sheesh.

Why are Browns fans recruiting Cameron Jordan?

Cleveland’s talented defense hasn’t necessarily played up to par this season, and they could use another defensive end with Jadeveon Clowney likely out the door.

But Jordan isn’t for sale, at least not yet. New Orleans has plenty of room for growth, and a veteran defensive end under an affordable contract is a rare strength on this roster. The Saints should continue to build around Jordan, rather than trade him away or void his contract, thus clearing up a move to Cleveland.

Jordan’s tweet didn’t receive a productive response from Browns fans, which were already salty given the tough season on their end.

Bengals fans, nonetheless, tried to convince Jordan that not ALL of Ohio is bad.

Jordan became the Saints all-time sack leader last week against the Atlanta Falcons. He’s cemented into franchise lore.

“All of, what, 16 and a half hours into 2023? We had three sacks today,” Jordan said. “That’s one heck of a way to start off 2023. I don’t know what tomorrow’s going to hold, but Jan. 1 was a good day.”

New Orleans won the game, as well.

With all that in mind, it’s safe to assume Jordan won’t be leaving the Bayou anytime soon. And when he does, it won’t be for Cleveland.
