BCJet Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RESNewYork Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Jamal Adams Marcus Maye 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenseed4 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 We should sign Mathieu and Claiborne back, and any other LSU player in the secondary, for team building purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bocajetfan Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
