Sportskeeda’s Tony Pauline: “I’m told Saints are considering releasing Tyrann Mathieu” [Tyrann: “Slow news day....I am New Orleans!”]

I don't doubt that. But when it came to choosing a city to play football in, we weren't it until he was entering the backside of his career, and at a cost that I'm not sure matches his effort and ability. All I'm saying is it's easy (and financially beneficial) to make that claim now.

TM had some issues that he dealt with, before he even got drafted. The best thing for that young man was to get out of the state. His career and quality way of life, while trying to be the best version of himself, was worth way more to him, than proving to anyone that he is/was “New Orleans”. I know exactly what TM is saying bc I did the same thing. Probably for the same reasons. It was the absolute best move for me, so I will 100% back him up on this. Doesn’t mean that we still can’t take pride in where we are from.
