Mathieu will visit Saints (2 Viewers)

If Tyrann Mathieu is not sign by 3pm May 2, I willing to bet he will be sign by the Saints soon thereafter.

Saints have been prolific at drafting talented safety's in the draft.

Out of curiosity, where else might they draft them?

Keenan was a great (and underrated) Saints!

With that said… Forget about HoneyBadger being a Saints. It’s a long shot at this point… and if it happens, it’ll be a shock.

99.9% he’s using his home team to leverage more $$$ from the Eagles.

Well, ultimately it's going to be a matter of how much Tyrann is willing to come back off of his salary demands. I don't see the Saints shelling out what he was asking for. Then again, I'm not sure what other team is able to give him that much money either.

They may already have a gentlemen’s agreement. Since Nick Underhill said this yesterday. “There is also a big need at safety that will need to get addressed. Tyrann Mathieu remains the best option for that spot.

Players signed after 3 p.m. on Monday will not count against the compensatory pick formula. That formula weighs the value of free agents added versus those lost to award bonus picks in the draft. Waiting to sign someone who will be a big contributor like Mathieu makes a lot of sense.”

Yeah, Nick responded to the Schefter Tweet with confirmation too:
