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.
