Just two years after the Cardinals made Tyrann Mathieu the NFL’s highest paid safety, they realized they overextended themselves. The Honey Badger was asked to take a paycut, he declined, and the team has notified him he will be released according to FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer.
Mathieu is going to be as hot a commodity as they come. The 25-year-old safety was an All Pro in 2015 and led the NFL in snaps last season. Dude never left the damn field, which tells you how valuable he was to the Cardinals’ defense which was also on the field a lot.
