Bryan Bresee proved to be a terrific addition to the defense of the New Orleans Saints last season.
The defensive tackle from Clemson was the 29th overall pick of the draft and provided a major upgrade to the interior of the defensive line for the Saints. Veteran DT Nathan Shepherd, added in free agency, also had a solid year.
Bresee and Shepherd combined for eight sacks, 17 QB hits, and 11 tackles for loss while also solidifying the inside run defense. Malcolm Roach also had a solid year before missing the stretch run with an injury. Not great numbers, but a better performance than what we saw from the position in the previous two campaigns.
The New Orleans Saints need to address some needs during free agency this season. That will need to occur with less cap space than many other teams around the league. As of now, the Saints are not cap compliant, but that must happen this week.
Jordan turns 35 on July 10th. He has played all of his 13 NFL seasons with the Saints. He was the 24th overall pick in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft.
The veteran has been a fan favorite for quite some time in New Orleans. He will certainly spend at least 2024 on the field for the Saints now.Jordan has been a Pro Bowler eight times in his career. He’s also recorded 225 QB hits, 153 tackles for loss, and forced 15 fumbles.
