Ifølge Ian Rapoport er New Orleans Saints og safety Tyrann Mathieu enige om en kontrakt. Dermed forstærker Saints safety positionen yderligere med en af New Orleans egne.

Saints mistede tidligere i free agency Marcus Williams til Baltimore Ravens.

Mathieu er født og opvokset i New Orleans og spillede sin college tid for LSU Tigers. Han er valgt til tre Pro Bowls i 2015, 2020 og 2021. Og vandt Super Bowl med Kansas City Chiefs i 2019.

Mathieu blev oprindeligt draftet af Arizona Cardinals i 2013 og nåede at spille fem sæsoner for Cardinals, inden han kom til Houston Texans i 2018. Det blev til blot et år i Houston, inden han nåede tre sæsoner for Kansas City Chiefs.

The #Saints are making a key post-draft addition, as they’re expected to sign All-Pro safety Tyrann Mathieu, sources say. A long-awaited signing that should be finalized in the coming days, the Honey Badger lands in a perfect spot.

The Honey Badger visited the #Saints and did a zoom with the #Eagles, but New Orleans was always the leader in the clubhouse. In the coming days, this should be finalized. A homecoming. https://t.co/wi1yZ5dupA

#Saints GM Mickey Loomis tipped his hand post-draft, saying there was still one need and joking, "You guys can guess that. You probably know it already.” He was right. https://t.co/wi1yZ5dupA
