Cameron Jordan is already winning in the offseason.
After appealing, the New Orleans Saints defensive end will not have to pay a $50,000 fine for allegedly faking an injury back in December, according to a Friday report by ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The 33-year-old, along with other members of the Saints’ organization, appealed a massive fine worth over $550,000 after allegedly planning a delay of game during the Saints’ 17-16 loss against the Buccaneers during Week 13.
During a crucial no-huddle play in the fourth quarter, the seven-time Pro Bowler took a knee on the field, went into a medical tent, and returned to the game after getting taped up, leading the NFL to believe the Saints lied about the injury. The Saints later proved Jordan suffered a mid-foot sprain — and the defensive end called the fine “ridiculous.”

Jordan quipped in a retweet to Johnson, saying “bout to be in my accounts scouring the get back.”
