Defensive end Cameron Jordan has just dismissed the athleticism of two offensive linemen, often viewed as the most physically gifted tackles in the game.

When asked whether San Francisco 49ers O-tackle Trent Williams is athletic, Jordan said, “No. He’s hella strong, though, and he makes hella highlights off of getting to the second level.”

And when asked about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tackle Tristan Wirfs, Jordan’s comments were even more blunt.

“He’s fat as hell. Stop,” he said. “Shout out to Tristan Wirfs for being a hell of an offensive tackle though.”

As for his opinion on Williams, in particular, it stands in sharp contrast to how the rest of the league perceives him. The 6-foot-5, 320-pound offensive tackle has earned respect for his balance, agility, and smooth movement in space.

And when looking at Wirfs, he stood out as an elite athlete as early as the 2020 NFL Combine, where he posted a record-breaking performance. He has developed into a dependable and flexible offensive tackle in the league since then. He’s the only player in league history to earn first-team All-Pro honors at both right and left tackle.

But in his eyes, it’s only the Dolphins star who could still qualify when it comes to athleticism.

“The only one that you could say was athletic was probably Terron Armstead. The man ran a 4.6 40. Windmill dunk standing. Yeah. That’s athletic. When can you go across different sports and be athletic? No.

Jordan’s remarks on Wirfs weren’t all surprising, though, given the intense Saints-Buccaneers rivalry. All of this banter comes just as chatter about Cameron Jordan’s NFL future continues to grow.

Is Cameron Jordan not coming back in the 2026 season?

Cameron Jordan delivered one of the most powerful seasons this year with 10.5 sacks, tying him for the 13th rank in the league. With 47 tackles and 15 tackles for loss, this was his most productive year since earning Pro Bowl honors in 2022. However, after the Saints finished the regular season with a terrible 6-11 record, the focus shifted to the 36-year-old’s future.

However, he’s not ready to call the shots just yet. While speaking on Up & Adams with Kay Adams, he admitted the offseason naturally brings these tough questions. For now, he wants to play for New Orleans “until they don’t want me.”

He also highlighted the painful 19-17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, suggesting it doesn’t feel like the final chapter of his career.  Despite the uncertainty about his future, Jordan thinks he’s in good shape. He is actively working to maintain his speed and conditioning.

While Jordan’s resurgence was one of the key stories of the 2025 season, it wasn’t accidental. The former first-round pick restructured his contract ahead of the season, shifting much of his compensation into incentives. 

He basically trusted himself, and his efforts paid off. With that, he ended up earning more than $2.3 million in bonuses tied to playtime and sack production. There are doubts about where Cameron Jordan will fit into the Saints’ 2026 cap picture. But for now, Jordan isn’t saying goodbye. He’s keeping the door open and letting his play do the talking.
