The All-Pro safety is expected to sign with the New Orleans Saints. NFL Network’s Ian Rappaport reported earlier today, per a source.
Tyrann is now heard to his fourth team in his nine year career, Mattieu was drafted by the Cardinals in 2013 but then was traded to the Texans in 2017-2018 season and only played one season in Houston before eventually making his way to Kansas City. After playing the last three seasons in Kansas City and winning a superbowl in his second year there. The three time pro bowler will now be joining the New Orleans Saints and a stacked secondary, it will also be a homecoming for the “Honey Badger” as he played for LSU in college
Matthieu was rated the sixth best free agent this offseason and is finally finding a home after Kansas City didn’t even give Mathieu a contract offer and additionally the Chiefs signed former Texans safety Justin Ried to a three year contract that closed the door for a potential return for the Honey Badger and the Chiefs.
Tyrann was the heart and soul of the Chiefs defense and is a phenomenal leader on the defensive side, any team would be lucky to have Mathieu’s presence in the locker room and the Saints are getting just that.
