Tyrann Mathieu - CB or Safety

Per rotoworld the Cardinals have asked Mathieu to take a pay cut

Cardinals DB Tyrann Mathieu says the team has asked him to take a pay cut.
NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports it would be a "large" cut. Mathieu is currently scheduled to make $10.75 million between salary and bonuses. He's due a $5 million roster bonus next Wednesday. It's quite possible Mathieu refuses the cut and earns his release. Cutting Mathieu and designating it as a post-June 1 move would free up $11 million in space.
 
Most of Mathieu's snaps come as a slot CB rather than safety and he has slipped as a player since the injury, but to me he would be an excellent addition to our secondary and we could recoup some of the money by immediately releasing Skrine.
 
I also think Adams could help in recruiting Mathieu here given their LSU ties.

he's still a little short.

But for a slot corner is his height that big of an issue?

I think it would allow us to play a lot of different coverages and be able to play a lot of 4 DL 2 LB and 5 DB yet still be able to play the run

Terrence Brooks - Won defensive player of the week. High athletic numbers that can develop.

Doug Middleton - Was looking good before IR. Another one with athletic numbers that can develop.

I like this group a lot and would feel comfortable if they give 3 safety looks. Don't see the need for Tyrann.

Love the guy but pass. Just not sure what he has left. Mac has been signing free agent with an injury history. For me this is getting old. At best the production has been 50/50. Time to sign players that can produce for at least 4 years.hell I would accept 3.
