Ever since the first wave of free agency concluded, veteran pass rusher Cam Jordan has been mentioned as an option for the Kansas City Chiefs time and again. After a weekend in which more fuel was poured on the fire, it's hard not to make the connection.
Jordan attended Patrick Mahomes' annual charity golf event in Las Vegas. A couple more NFL names were pictured with Mahomes at the 15 and the Mahomies Vegas Golf Classic. But from Jordan's own posts on social media, specifically, there appears to be a noticeable urge he is fulfilling to keep Chiefs fans fixating on him joining the Chiefs.
Fans weren't the only ones yearning for Jordan to join the Chiefs this spring. Chris Jones took to X in March to post a cryptic, short message that seemed to summon Jordan to the defensive line beside him. The Chiefs have done well to restock the line this offseason; however, no one knows more than Jones how shorthanded Kansas City was in that area around him last season. It would help Jones considerably to have an experienced veteran presence like Jordan on the outside.
After 15 incredible years with the New Orleans Saints, Jordan has accomplished so much. Jordan, who has always been known as a strong leader, can still produce when rushing the passer at this stage, though. He tallied 10.5 sacks in 2025. Including playoffs, the pass rusher has registered 137.5 career sacks.
Imagine how beneficial that production would be if added in to the Chiefs' defense. Other contributors are expected to make a difference in 2026. But after last season's lack of pass-rush juice, any and all additions can only boost Kansas City's chances of getting home. Quite frankly, his current age and status would not warrant him having to handle a massive workload each week, either.
Jordan could join new second-round rookie R Mason Thomas on the outside along with the return of Felix Anudike-Uzomah to help upgrade a position that also lost Charles Omenihu in free agency to the Washington Commanders. The Chiefs also bolstered the interior with free agent Khyiris Tonga and first-round rookie Peter Woods.
Jordan was a part of many successful Saints teams, but the tail end of his run in New Orleans saw fewer bites at the playoff apple. K.C. has to get back to the postseason after a down season, yet the Chiefs offer as good a chance as any to get Jordan that shot at a Super Bowl. Before last season's failure to make the playoffs, Kansas City appeared in the AFC Championship Game in seven consecutive years.
After being around Mahomes recently, surely Jordan was given enough of a sell on what it could be like to play with this generation's best quarterback. Will Kansas City ultimately pull the trigger on the veteran?
