The addition of pass rusher Chase Young in New Orleans provides youth to Joe Woods' defense in 2024.

New Orleans this offseason have decided to run it back with core players like pass rusher Cameron Jordan, linebacker Demario Davis and Tyrann Mathieu. Davis and Mathieu agreed to new deals for the 2024 season, respectively.

Jordan believes the signing of Young could add another dimension to the Saints' defense, Christian Gonzalez of NFL.com reports.

"I think Chase Young is going to be great for our defense," Jordan said on NFL Total Access Friday night. "We already got Carl Granderson who's stellar these last couple of years. I think with growth him being on the opposite side when he gets the right health, physically. He's going to be another piece we can add on.

"At some point in my mind, I'm spinning like it's going to be me, Chase and Carl Granderson on the field at the same time on a crucial third down and I'm probably going to have to go in the middle. I don't care. Whatever it takes. I'll line up and be that Za’Darius Smith over the middle roaming and trying to get active. I think it adds another weapon to our defense."

Jordan, the No. 24 overall pick in the 2011 draft, has been a problem for offensive coordinators since entering the league. Throughout his 13 seasons in the Bayou State, Jordan has had 225 QB hits, 153 tackles for loss, 117.5 sacks and 15 forced fumbles in 209 games. However, the eight-time Pro Bowler recorded a career-low two sacks in 2023, which was his lowest since his rookie season (1.0).
