NFL Trade Rumors: Chicago Bears and Kansas City Chiefs strongly linked to veteran Pro Bowl edge rusher

Cameron Jordan is still available on the open market, but his name continues to show up in NFL trade rumors as teams look for experienced pass rush help. The Chicago Bears and Kansas City Chiefs have both been linked in recent speculation as possible landing spots for the long-time New Orleans Saints defensive end.

Jordan is coming off another productive season in 2025, and even at 36, he showed he can still create pressure off the edge. That has kept him on the radar of contenders looking for short-term defensive upgrades.

Which teams are interested in Cameron Jordan?

The Chicago Bears make sense because of their pass-rush depth issues. After Montez Sweat, the unit lacks proven production. Jordan would bring stability, experience, and a steady presence on passing downs. Chicago has also shown interest in adding veterans who can support younger defenders.


The Kansas City Chiefs have also been floated as a possible fit. Kansas City already invested in young edge rushers, but the coaching staff values rotation and experience during long playoff runs. Jordan would not need a full-time role, but he could still contribute in key situations.

What insiders are saying about the Cameron Jordan rumors?

The latest talk around Jordan gained attention after Bleacher Report analyst Moe Moton highlighted him as a veteran worth watching late in free agency. “Don’t look at Cameron Jordan’s age as a reason to overlook him,” Moton wrote. “The 36-year-old is beyond his perennial Pro Bowl seasons, but he registered 10.5 sacks and 22 pressures in the previous campaign.”

Moton also pointed to Jordan’s durability as a major factor that still appeals to teams. “Furthermore, Jordan is an iron man on the edge,” he added. “The 15-year veteran has yet to miss more than one game in a single campaign.” He also said Kansas City is the right option for the star.

His reliability is why Jordan continues to appear in NFL trade rumours even at this stage of his career. Most teams now view him as a rotational piece rather than an every-down starter, but his impact in specific situations still matters.

Contract details and market value

Jordan most recently played on a one-year, $6.05 million deal with the New Orleans Saints. The contract included a $4.85 million signing bonus and full guarantees. At this stage of his career, he is expected to sign another short-term deal if he joins a new team. Any interest from the Bears or Chiefs would likely focus on role, snaps, and leadership rather than long-term investment.

Jordan has also expressed a desire to remain with the Saints, but with no deal finalized, interest from other teams continues to grow. As a result, his name remains active in trade rumors heading into the next phase of the offseason.
