STM Take

Eight Pro Bowls plus 130+ career sacks plus 15 years at one team puts Jordan in the conversation as the best Saints defender of the modern era and on a Hall-of-Fame trajectory. The 2023-2024 tier 8 finishes flagged the structural decline, but the 2025 tier 3 (#19) bounce-back at age 36 confirms the elite ceiling can still be reached. The 2026 question is whether Jordan extends through age 37 or whether the structural age-related decline finally closes the chapter.

Jordan came out of California as the New Orleans Saints' 1st-round pick (24th overall) in 2011 and has made eight Pro Bowls (2015, 2017-2022, 2024) across his career. He is the son of former NFL tight end Steve Jordan and has crossed 130 career sacks across 15 NFL seasons. His STTM career runs tier 1 (#5) in 2021, tier 5 (#36) in 2022, tier 8 (#105) in 2023, tier 8 (#86) in 2024, and tier 3 (#19) bounce-back in 2025 at age 36.

Strengths

Eight Pro Bowls (2015, 2017-2022, 2024) plus 130+ career sacks plus 15 years at one team establishes a Hall-of-Fame edge defender résumé.
Tier 3 (#19) bounce-back at age 36 after back-to-back tier 8 finishes confirms the elite ceiling is still reachable in his late chapter.

Concerns

Back-to-back tier 8 finishes (2023, 2024) confirms the structural age-related decline is real, with the 2025 bounce potentially being a one-year context.
Age 36 plus 15 years of pass-rush wear puts the late-career structural decline question on every 2026 projection.

What to watch: Whether Jordan extends through age 37 in 2026 plus holds tier 5 or better, the threshold for confirming the 2025 bounce-back was structural.
