When the Kansas City Chiefs let veteran safety Tyrann Mathieu walk in free agency earlier this offseason, the consensus was that Mathieu wouldn’t have any trouble finding a new home. Many believed he would sign a healthy contract reasonably soon after it appeared that the writing was on the wall.
For whatever reason, things have not worked out that way. One week away from the NFL Draft, Mathieu is still on the market.
During his pre-draft press conference on Friday afternoon, Chiefs general manager Brett Veach spoke about Mathieu's contract negotiations, the safety’s exit from Kansas City and whether or not the Chiefs would be open to bringing him back to play in Arrowhead.
