Former Kansas City Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu is visiting the New Orleans Saints on Tuesday, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
The Chiefs last spoke about the 29-year-old in early March, expressing words of continued optimisim for a potential deal during head coach and general manager media appearances at the NFL Combine. But the Chiefs’ signing of Justin Reid to a three-year deal in mid-March all but definitely signified the end of Mathieu’s tenure in Kansas City.
What has been intriguing about Mathieu is that heading into the offseason, he was considered by many to be a top free agent, yet here he is — nearly a month after free agency — without a deal.
