Recently, the NFL world saw one of the most shocking moves made by the Kansas City Chiefs. They have let go of their safety, Tyrann Mathieu, who has now signed a fresh contract with the New Orleans Saints. Mathieu, who is a 3 time Pro Bowler, was one of the strongest safety’s in the 2022 free agent market.

Tyrann expressed his dissatisfaction with the whole scenario. While talking to Jim Rome, he revealed he felt hurt that the Chiefs did not consider re-signing him. Mathieu further stated in an interview via Saturday Down South – “No doubt about it, I’m definitely motivated by it.”  

The negligence by the Chiefs has hit Mathieu where it should hurt the most and has definitely stimulated his desire to bring back the glory for the New Orleans Saints in the present season.
