Tyrann Mathieu spoke with Arizona Cardinals insider Kyle Odegard on when exactly he knew he was leaving.
ARIZONA -- Former Arizona Cardinals standout Tyrann Mathieu paid a visit with his New Orleans Saints last weekend to begin preseason action, a sort of homecoming for the previous fan-favorite.
Mathieu told Odegard he had a special relationship with Arians - though the same couldn't be said about Wilks, and that feeling was solidified during an offseason workout when the two paths crossed: “I just remember that exchange, and I’m like, ‘Well, I guess I got my answer about that.’ I don’t want to put words in his mouth and I can’t remember exactly what he said, but it was along the lines of, ‘You’ve made enough money. You’re good. You’re going to take this paycut.’ When I met him, he didn’t embrace me as a team leader, as a guy he wanted there.
“I believe I was due to make $12 million that year, and they wanted to take three from me, so I’d probably have made like nine,” Mathieu said.
