Saints Restructure Tyrann Mathieu's Contract
2 years agoThe New Orleans Saints restructured safety Tyrann Mathieu's contract on Friday, clearing another $4.668 million in 2023 salary cap space. Perhaps the Saints are clearing more cap space in order to make a run at signing free-agent quarterback Derek Carr, who is seeking $35 million per year on his next deal. In his first year with the Saints in 2022, Mathieu was great, recording a career-high 91 tackles (64 solo), three tackles for loss, one sack, three interceptions, eight passes defensed, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 17 starts. The 30-year-old still has two years left on his deal with New Orleans and should be a key contributor for their secondary again in 2023.
