Not happening

TM claims he's never coming back to New Orleans, too dangerous for him

Have you watched vaccaro play this year? Good coverage, good run support

You'd have to give Arizona like 3 1st rounders to even consider it. There is no one on our roster outside of maybe Terron Armstead that they would even want. Mathieu is one of their leaders and one of the best DB's in the league, I honestly wouldn't even want to see the kind of trade that would require.

He hosted a camp a few months ago

Nothing because the Cardinals won't trade him. They can't take a 11mil+ cap hit from his recent signing bonus on his new contract.

But the OP traded for him on Madden so the Saints must be stupid or something.

not sure what our SS has to do with getting an All-Pro FS, but okay.....

He played less than 10% of snaps at free safety last year. I believe they started him off in that role coming back from injury this year, but it isn't where he has had his success. Certainly didn't become an all-pro from the free safety position.

He plays corner more than anything, followed by strong safety. He and Vaccaro have similar roles on the team, although TM7 is on a different level (than most players). He wouldn't have worked out in New Orleans unfortunately. Going to Arizona and getting out of Louisiana was huge for him as a person.

He's played 68 percent of his snaps as a slot corner, 24 percent at strong safety and eight percent as a free safety, according to Pro Football Focus. Making him the highest-paid safety saves the Cardinals some money compared to making him the highest-paid cornerback; the average annual value for the four highest-paid cornerbacks starts at $14 million.

This statement is way off.
