NEW ORLEANS — Free agent safety Tyrann Mathieu will visit the Saints facility on Tuesday, according to NFL Insider Ian Rapoport.
The New Orleans native is just 29 years old and was a member of the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl winning team in 2020.
With Malcolm Jenkins announcing his retirement from professional football last week, the Saints have a hole at the safety position.
During his nine-year career, the Honey Badger has 26 career interceptions, six fumble recoveries, ten sacks, and three touchdowns.
Yesterday the Saints added a first round draft pick this year and gave up next year’s first-round pick in a large exchange of draft picks with the Philadelphia Eagles.
