They're playing different safety spots

And we have a SS/NB flex guy in CGJ

I'd rather keep our top 5-FS who is like 24 years old and pair him with CGJ than pay Maye/Mathieu more to take playing time away from CGJ

Hot take: he's not worth $10M/year anymore.



I agree with this and also think we don't need to be spending 10M at safety.

This but I can see signing him to a contract alot like the one Jenkins just had and Mathieu would probably give you everything he did and a little more.

This is why I don't see it happening. They could've just paid marcus Williams who covers more field than any safety in the entire nfl.

I mean he had a better year than cgj but I agree that I wouldn't sign him for 10 mil.

The chiefs didn't even offer him a contract. That speaks volumes.
He will be 30 when the season starts and isn't the same player.

I do think the saints need to draft another safety within the first 4 rounds.

It's not going to be 10 mil guaranteed for each year.

Y'all are telling me mathieu isn't worth 3 years 30 mil with 16 guaranteed.

I'm not even super high on mathieu. He is 29 and small.
He was just replaced by Reid with a very similar contract ($20 million guaranteed). There has been no market for him since that happened. That is probably the upper limit for him.

He was offered a 1 yr 8 mil deal with most of it guaranteed from the Steelers.

3 years 30 mil with 16 guaranteed is basically the contract that maye got.
