Reed83HOF Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) Gregg RosenthalVerified account @greggrosenthal Tyrann Mathieu, here at @NFLNetwork Thursday, said he and agent spoke with Cardinals Thursday. They asked him to take a pay cut. Ian RapoportVerified account @RapSheet 42m42 minutes ago This was expected, but is significant. Would be a large paycut based on what his expected role would be in a new defense. This is why the Honey Badger could be a free agent. Gregg RosenthalVerified account @greggrosenthal Mathieu did not sound too amenable to a pay cut. Open to some type of restructure … “But taking money out of my pocket. I don't like how that feels.” Matt MillerVerified account @nfldraftscout 6s6 seconds ago More Tyrann Mathieu is a free agent, per @JayGlazer Adam SchefterVerified account @AdamSchefter 49s49 seconds ago Former Cardinals’ safety Tyrann Mathieu reached agreement on a one-year deal with the Houston Texans, sources tell ESPN.

Coach Tuesday Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 What happened to him? He was a top-3 playmaker in the league a couple of years ago and he's young and healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 1 minute ago, Coach Tuesday said: What happened to him? He was a top-3 playmaker in the league a couple of years ago and he's young and healthy. Knee injuries. Last year he was just off another ACL injury I believe. Sometimes it takes a guy a little while to bounce back. If AZ cuts him he will have no limit of suitors and I expect him to have a bounce back type of year. It's a business though, the NFL, so AZ has to do what's best for them as well.

aristocrat Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 It’s funny. The team made the choice to give him the big deal. The team is making tons of money. Nobody ever faults the team for asking him to take a pay cut. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 They also added Budda Baker last year with a similar skill set. Both are good players but Baker is a fraction of the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlbillsfan1975 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) Great pick up for Houston. That D can be amazing and if Watson gets healthy watch out. Houston really can be a force. Edited March 17, 2018 by atlbillsfan1975 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a former big money player who had a big money contract in AZ who has seen his skills depreciate and worth less than his contract money. AZ then asked him to take a money cut. He was open to a money restructure but not open to losing any money. AZ then released him over money. He then went money shopping and signed with Texas for ONE yr for 7 mill. money. Then he said it was not about the money. That he still and always will love AZ.(yeah he thinks we are all that stupid) If it was not about the money, he would still be in AZ.
