2023 Fantasy Outlook
Mathieu set a new career high in tackles (91) while playing all 17 games during his first season with New Orleans in 2022. It's possible his production was boosted by playing in a Saints secondary that was banged up all season, including starting free safety Marcus Maye and top cornerback Marshon Lattimore, who missed seven and 10 games, respectively. Nevertheless, Mathieu is a central piece in New Orleans' defense, and he has not missed more than one game in a season since 2016. The three-time All-Pro should remain productive heading into his age-31 season in 2023. Read Past Outlooks

Inks new deal with New Orleans
The Saints re-signed Mathieu on a two-year, $13 million contract Thursday, Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
The 31-year-old has officially agreed to terms to stay in New Orleans after spending the last two years with the team. Despite a slight drop in his numbers in 2023, Mathieu remained effective, tallying 75 total tackles and nine passes defended, including four interceptions through 17 regular-season contests. Assuming he can avoid injury, the 2013 third-rounder should maintain his every-down role as the Saints' starting free safety in 2024.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Garners two-year extension
Mathieu signed a two-year extension with the Saints on Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Terrell reports that Mathieu agreed to lower his 2024 salary in exchange for adding additional years to the three-year, $33 million deal he originally signed as a free agent before the 2022 season. Mathieu noted Thursday he was willing to take a pay cut to remain in New Orleans on his current deal because he feels he's such a good fit in the team's system and loves the city.

Mathieu signed a three-year, $33 million contract with the Saints this offseason after a three-year stint with the Chiefs. The veteran will start at strong safety, taking the place of the retired Malcolm Jenkins. Mathieu finished his last season with Kansas City recording 76 total tackles, six passes defensed, three interceptions (one pick-six) and one sack. The 30-year-old still can be an impact player and should play a key role in keeping New Orleans at the top of the league's defensive ranks.
