The New Orleans Saints are opening up talks with Kansas City Chiefs S Tyrann Mathieu again following the conclusion of the 2022 NFL draft.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Saints will resume talks with Mathieu and “make an aggressive push” to sign him after failing to draft a safety. A native of New Orleans, Louisiana, Mathieu had already taken a bit of an informal visit with the Saints during a recent trip to Louisiana, but nothing was imminent after the visit.
Having spent his college years in Baton Rouge at Lousiana State University and growing up in New Orleans, this was the spot that always made the most sense for Mathieu. He even told WAFB-TV that it “would be great to represent my city and state” by playing for the Saints.
