• Saints' Tyrann Mathieu: Staying in New Orleans

  21D ago • By RotoWire

  Mathieu (concussion) is in line to rework his deal with the Saints and remain with the team for the 2025 season, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. Mathieu's reworked contract will serve to make his cap hit more manageable for New Orleans, potentially by converting some of his $6.5 million base salary into a signing bonus. He's suited up for all 17 regular-season games in three consecutive years with the Saints, though his snap count declined in 2024. Mathieu was forced out of the team's Week 18 finale due to a concussion, but he figures to be a full participant in the start of offseason activities.

  01/08/2025 • By RotoWire

  In 17 games in 2024, Mathieu recorded 62 tackles (47 solo), two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and seven pass breakups, including three interceptions. Mathieu finished his third straight season without missing a single game, but he came away with fewer tackles than in both of the seasons prior, and he was a bit less sharp in coverage in the process. However, he led New Orleans' safeties in defensive snaps in 2024 by a wide margin. He'll turn 33 in May.

• Saints' Tyrann Mathieu: Questionable to return Sunday

  12/01/2024 • By RotoWire

  Mathieu (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Rams. Mathieu checked out of the game in the third quarter after making a hard tackle on running back Kyren Williams, according to Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune. The safety ultimately went into the medical tent per Johnson and has since returned to the sideline with his shoulder wrapped. In his Mathieu's absence, J.T. Gray and Jordan Howden stand to see an increase in workload at safety.

  10/31/2024 • By RotoWire

  Mathieu (illness) was listed as a full practice participant Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. Mathieu didn't practice Wednesday while battling an illness, but it appears he's over the issue as he was able to practice without limitations Thursday. Barring any setbacks, the 2013 third-round pick should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Panthers. Mathieu's two interceptions through eight regular-season outings is second most on the Saints behind Paulson Adebo (leg).
