On the latest Off the Edge with Cam Jordan podcast, Cam is joined by Jaguars defensive lineman Arik Armstead for a candid and wide‑ranging conversation that dives deep into the trenches of the NFL. Fresh off the season, Arik and Cam discuss feeling physically strong, the evolving market for veteran defensive linemen, and the significance of a 10-sack season.

The two break down the Saints’ 6‑11 campaign, the Jaguars’ defensive resurgence this season, and the ripple effects of coaching changes across the league. Arik then emphasizes why he believes head coach is the single most important factor in winning in the NFL.

The guys close with their preview of Super Bowl 60, and why both quarterbacks could surprise the football world with their performance.

The Off the Edge with Cam Jordan podcast is a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeart Media.

Each episode digs into the critical decisions shaping all 32 franchises, from blockbuster trades and free agent gambles to the subtle draft picks that define a team's identity for years to come. It’s a deep, analytical listen that never loses the passion and occasional chaos of the sport itself, offering a unique blend of insider knowledge and genuine fan-level excitement. Tune in for the sharp analysis, stay for the authentic back-and-forth that only two experts with nothing to prove can deliver.
