The Houston Texans are signing former Arizona Cardinals safety Tyrann Mathieu, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reports.
This would really, really suck!
Dang, good signing by them. His downfall is his health so I hope that can be an issue during our games. Besides that, just move on Honey Badger after this year.
Good signing for Texans if it comes true. I don't want to see the Honey Badger added to their D.
Very, very unfortunate news as a Jags fan.
Afterthought: Where is Colvin going to play for them now in Nickel?
Cardinals releaed him for not living up to expectations. Texans gave him a 1 year deal. We will have to see if he can rebound or if his days are numbered.

What? He's been stellar. They cut him bc he wouldn't take a pay cut after they gave Bradford $20mil

[font=Helvetica, sans-serif]I am just going by what I read. I don't watch Cardinals games. I read the following from SBNation:[/font]
[font=Helvetica, sans-serif]"In 2015, the season before Mathieu signed his extension, he had 89 total tackles, five picks, and a whopping 17 pass breakups. He played a kind of hybrid safety/slot corner role and he excelled in it. That led him to that giant payday.[/font]
[font=Helvetica, sans-serif]The following season marked a decline for Mathieu. A shoulder injury plagued him for the last six games of the season, and he landed on injured reserve. He bounced back in 2017, with two picks, seven pass breakups, and a sack. But he’s yet to get back to those pre-extension levels."
I also read elsewhere he has been injured multiple times, only playing a full season once (Maybe he had a bad ACL? I don't remember exactly)[/font]
Again, I don't know, I dont' watch his games, but the fact that he only got a 1-year prove it type deal suggests to me that maybe there is more to the story.
