TEMPE, Ariz. -- It wasn’t easy for cornerback Patrick Peterson to watch safety Tyrann Mathieu get cut by the Arizona Cardinals and then sign with the Houston Texans. But if there’s one thing Peterson knows about Mathieu, one of his closest friends and a longtime teammate, it’s that when Mathieu is in a position to prove people wrong, he usually does just that.
And in this case, Mathieu would be out to show the Cardinals that he was worth the $18.75 million in guaranteed money he was due by March 16.
