Tyrann Mathieu signing new two-year, $13 million deal with Saints

Tyrann Mathieu, the veteran safety for the Saints, has signed a new two-year, $13 million deal to stay in New Orleans. This prevents Mathieu from becoming a free agent and keeps him under contract until 2025. Despite not earning any postseason accolades in the last two seasons, Mathieu has maintained a high level of performance, with overall defensive grades of 81.2 or better. He was listed in the top 10 of all safeties and is the only safety over 29 to be in the top 20. Mathieu, who turns 32 in May, is returning to Louisiana, where he played college football at LSU. This deal could potentially allow him to retire where his career began.
