The New Orleans Saints are expected to announce a deal to sign the All-Pro safety later this week. The news was first reported this morning by Ian Rapoport. Tyrann Mathieu will be a huge addition to the Saints as they look to bolster their roster after this year’s NFL Draft.

“The #Saints are making a key post-draft addition, as they’re expected to sign All-Pro safety Tyrann Mathieu, sources say. A long-awaited signing that should be finalized in the coming days, the Honey Badger lands in a perfect spot.

The Honey Badger visited the #Saints and did a zoom with the #Eagles, but New Orleans was always the leader in the clubhouse. In the coming days, this should be finalized. A homecoming.”
