The New Orleans Saints have agreed to terms with defensive end Cameron Jordan on a five-year extension worth a maximum of $60 million on Tuesday and that deal could potentially wind up being a preview of what Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Cameron Heyward will come close to receiving between now and the start of the 2015 season.
Jordan, who was picked seven spots ahead of Heyward in the 2011 NFL Draft, recorded 7 1/2 sacks last season for the saints. According to Mike Garafolo of Fox Sports, Jordan will receive $33.
