I love me some Honey Badger but for the life of me I can't figure out how his agent got him paid as the highest safety in the NFL.

Dude has proven he can't stay healthy and on the field. He had been placed on IR for the 3rd time in 4 years.

Badger shut down again

He was the best safety in the league last year, and then became the highest paid safety in the league. The relationship between the two is pretty obvious, frankly.

Did anyone listen to Moscona compare him to Jairus Byrd for that above reason?

Context of that surrouned his contract situation as well.

When is that? Sample size seems awful small for such an investment.

More like the Cards got sold the hype of the young man reclaiming his life, which is great.


The point of the post was not to cut Mathieu down, but more in awe that an NFL franchise threw that kind of money at a less than reliable player health wise. You usually don't see this in the hard core "what have you done for me lately" league knows as the NFL.

Because he signed a contract that pays more than any other safety is paid.

Because he can come up and stop the run, hover around as a safety, or lineup man to man and cover.... HONEY BADGER TAKES WHAT HE WANTS

What he did lately was the best safety when contract was signed. You kind of answered your own question.

He's getting shut down this year because the Cards have nothing left to play for. Just getting extra rest and rehab time and not worth getting injured in meaningless games

he's Bob Sanders 2.0

Great when on field, but he isnt going to play very long in the NFL. At some point these injuries will take a toll on a guy that is 5.8" 185 and is only a good, not great athlete
