Following the departure of Odafe Oweh, who signed with the Commanders, the Chargers are in the market for another edge rusher to go along with Tuli Tuipulotu and Khalil Mack.

CBS Sports believes veteran Cameron Jordan could be an option to fill the need.

Jordan may not be a long-term solution, but he would be a stopgap option at least who would help the Chargers maintain some of the best financial flexibility in the league. His modest price would also allow this team to spend more heavily on its greatest need: offensive line.

After failing to reach a new deal with the Saints, Jordan became a free agent for the first time in his 15-year career. In 2025, he finished with 10.5 sacks, his most since 2021. He also recorded 32 total tackles.

In 242 starts in 243 career games, has 763 total tackles, 132 sacks, 17 forced fumbles, 12 fumble recoveries, three interceptions and one defensive touchdown.

While the 36-year old has an impressive resume, the Chargers are better off getting younger at the position and using one of their first couple of picks on an edge rusher in a deep draft class. Had they not brought back Mack, Jordan would’ve been an appealing option as a proven veteran to add to the position room.
