Congratulations to Matthew on returning to his hometown to play!
The Saints signed a three-year contract with security guard Tyrann Matthew
On Monday, according to NFL Network reporters, the New Orleans Saints will sign a three-year contract with security guard Tyrann Mathieu for a total salary of $33 million, including $18 million in security. On the 13th of this month, Matthew will celebrate his 30th birthday, and he is a New Orleans native, so the signing seems more reasonable.
Neither of the Saints' starting security guards last season will continue to play, with Marcus Williams signing with the Ravens and Malcolm Jenkins hanging up his boots. Now, Matthew and Marcus Maye, a former jet veteran who previously signed the Saints, are tentative starters.
Williams and Jenkins are typical rangers and strong guards respectively, but the roles of Matthew and Meyer are less clearly defined, and the two may get a more flexible arrangement in Dennis Allen's defensive system. In addition, C.J. Gardner Johnson, a security guard who is very good at keeping an eye on the outside of the grooves. Gardner-Johnson) is also still on the team.
Matthew has spent the past three seasons in the Kansas City Chiefs and lifted the 54th Super Bowl trophy with the team in his first season with the chiefs. He has completed 26 interceptions so far in his career, including 3 return touchdowns, 76 destructive passes, 610 tackles and 10 tackles.
Cardinals star outside receiver Hopkins was banned for six games
On Monday, according to NFL Network reporters, Cardinals takeover DeAndre Hopkins violated the league's enhanced performance drug policy and will be banned for 6 games.
Hopkins can play in preseasons and team training before the start of the regular season. His suspension may also be one of the reasons the Cardinals were willing to trade in the first round to get The Ravens' takeover, Marquise Brown.
Hopkins, who has been named to the All-Team three times in his career and five-time in the Pro Bowl, was plagued by injuries last season. He missed a total of seven regular season games due to an ankle injury, as well as a wild card game loss to the Rams.
Hopkins received 42 possessions last season, advancing 572 yards and eight touchdowns. But before he was injured, his catch success rate, the average yard of the catch, and the average yard of the advance after receiving the ball were higher than usual. After joining the Cardinals, Hopkins completed a total of 157 catches, advanced 1979 yards and touchdowns 14 times.
However, Hopkins later issued a statement on social platforms saying that he had never done anything like this in his ten-year NFL career, and he was puzzled at the moment and apologized to fans for his negligence. He will find out what caused the positive test results as soon as possible and will share the latest findings with everyone as soon as possible.
