Report: Saints re-sign Mathieu to 2-year, $13M deal

The New Orleans Saints re-signed safety Tyrann Mathieu to a new two-year, $13-million deal, sources told Josina Anderson of CBS Sports.

Mathieu was set to enter the final season of a three-year, $33-million deal he signed in 2022. His new contract will keep him locked up through the 2025 campaign.

The 31-year-old joined the Saints after spending three years with the Kansas City Chiefs. The Arizona Cardinals drafted Mathieu in the third round in 2013, and he played his first five seasons there before spending one with the Houston Texans.

Mathieu has been a pillar of the Saints' defense over the last two campaigns. He has seven interceptions with 166 tackles and 17 passes defended in 34 starts for New Orleans.

The LSU product has three first-team All-Pro selections and a Super Bowl ring.
