Tyrann Mathieu Fantasy

New Orleans Saints safety Tyrann Mathieu (personal) rejoined the team at training camp on Tuesday after missing the last week for a personal family matter, according to a source. Even with Mathieu away, the Saints secondary has been perhaps the best group in camp, and now they have one of the best players back on the field. The Honey Badger is a three-time Pro Bowler and first-team All-Pro and finished last year with 76 tackles (60 solo), one sack, three interceptions (one for a touchdown), six passes defensed and three fumble recoveries in 16 regular season games. With him in the fold in the Saints secondary in 2022, the New Orleans defense/special teams on the back end should be much improved.

The New Orleans Saints and free-agent safety Tyrann Mathieu officially agreed to a three-year, $33 million deal on Monday that includes $18 million fully guaranteed, according to sources. The language of the deal still needs to be finalized and the deal signed, but Mathieu is indeed returning home to New Orleans after playing his college ball at LSU. The Honey Badger will make an already strong Saints secondary that much better. The 29-year-old is a three-time Pro Bowler and a three-time first-team All-Pro. In his last three seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, he's recorded 171 tackles, eight tackles for loss, six QB hits, three sacks, 13 interceptions (two for touchdowns), 27 passes defensed and four fumble recoveries in 47 starts.

The New Orleans Saints are expected to sign All-Pro free-agent safety Tyrann Mathieu, according to sources. The signing should be finalized in the coming days. This move has been talked about for weeks, but the Saints finally acted on it after the draft, with the Honey Badger coming home after playing his college ball at LSU as a New Orleans native. The 29-year-old is expected to serve as a starter in a strong Saints secondary that also includes cornerbacks Marshon Lattimore and Paulson Adebo and safety Marcus Maye. Mathieu was a Pro Bowler for the third time in his career last year when he had 76 tackles, six passes defensed, three interceptions, three fumble recoveries and a sack in 16 regular season games with the Kansas City Chiefs.
