How long will Tyrann Mathieu play for the saints?

That’s tough. I say no

Gonna be on the roster after this year?

no

He's done. He was done last year.

He would have to restructure/extend on a team friendly deal. I think if he shows out this year he'll keep going on a short deal like Malcolm Jenkins.

At least through Monday

Nah, I don't see it, if I were in his shoes, I'd play out the contract and retire. Dude is a super bowl champion, and has had a decent career, I don't know if it's hof worthy, but his career has been good. He's rich, so, just get on with life now, he'll probably get into coaching since he likes working with youngsters.

Yikes. I forgot how shitty his deal ended up being. We only save like $1.7M next year by cutting him.

Another thread, another bitch post about the cap from sfp

People forget he started poorly last year but finished playing very well. Now at his age he is playing year to year and I think he and the team know it. He seems to have his head screwed on right so I don't think he goes the Willie May's route.

I mean he was ok but for a defense that had issues creating turnovers he didn’t help much.

That’s fair, especially for someone who burst onto the scene in college as maybe the greatest turnover creator ever in CFB history. Certainly the greatest pound for pound.

But I heard something the other day about our lack of creating turnovers last year. It was historically bad. Like maybe worst season in Saints’ history bad. I wish I could remember what I was listening to.

Pretty sure Mathieu led the team in all turnovers with 3.

That’s definitely not great.

Hard to get turnovers when you’re always playing from behind and the opponent is never really forced into making bad decisions. Hopefully with a better offense we ca put pressure on opposing teams this year to be in more throwing, down and distance/obvious pass rush situations that will create more havoc and chances for mistakes.
