Tyrann Mathieu announces retirement from the NFL after 12 seasons
One of the best of his generation is calling it a career. Three-time All-Pro safety Tyrann Mathieu announced in a post on his Instagram page that he is retiring from the NFL. The 33-year-old defensive back was entering his fourth season with the New Orleans Saints but won't step onto the field this year. "As I hang up my cleats, I'm filled with gratitude as I close this chapter of my life and officially retire from the game that's shaped me in every way," Mathieu wrote in his announcement. "From my first snap in college to my final play in the NFL, this journey has been nothing short of a blessing. Football gave me purpose, discipline, and memories that will stay with me forever. But more than anything, it gave me a community." Mathieu was drafted in the third round, 69th overall by the Arizona Cardinals in the 2013 NFL Draft. A Heisman finalist at LSU in 2011, he slid to the third round due to off-field concerns following his dismissal from LSU in 2012. He ended up a steal for the Cardinals and finished fourth in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting in 2013. In 2015, he made his first All-Pro team as the Cardinals made the NFC championship game. He spent five seasons with the Cardinals and played well alongside standout cornerback Patrick Peterson. Arizona released him in 2018 and he signed with the Houston Texans for one season before signing a multi-year deal with the Chiefs in 2019. Mathieu was part of the Chiefs Super Bowl-winning team in 2019 and made his second All-Pro team that season. He made his third a year later with the Chiefs in 2020. Kansas City did not retain him after the 2021 season and he made his way back to Louisiana to play for his hometown New Orleans Saints. He started every game for New Orleans from 2022 through 2024. "To every coach who believed in me, every teammate who battled beside me, and every fan who showed up, cheered, and rode with me through the highs and lows, thank you," Mathieu wrote in his announcement. "You gave me strength when I needed it most, and your love carried me farther than I ever imagined." He did tease that he's not done with football yet, writing "this isn't goodbye - it's just the next chapter."

Cowboys sign edge rusher James Houston
The Cowboys signed defensive end James Houston on Tuesday. He was one of three defensive linemen to work out for the team earlier this week, with Jesse Luketa and Kameron Cline also participating. Star edge rusher Micah Parsons is in training camp and on the field with a helmet while awaiting a contract extension, but there remains a question about whether he will practice in team drills. Houston entered the NFL as a sixth-round pick of the Lions in 2022. He had eight sacks in seven games as a rookie but has made only one sack in 13 games since. He played eight games for the Lions and three for the Browns last season, totaling one sack. In a corresponding move, the Cowboys cut defensive end Luiji Vilain.

Tyrann Mathieu announces his retirement
The Honey Badger is calling it a career. Saints safety Tyrann Mathieu has formally announced his retirement on Tuesday in a social media post. 'As I hang up my cleats, I'm filled with gratitude as I close this chapter of my life and officially retire from the game that's shaped me in every way,' Mathieu wrote. 'From my first snap in college to my final play in the NFL, this journey has been nothing short of a blessing. Football gave me purpose, discipline, and memories that will stay with me forever. But more than anything, it gave me a community. 'To every coach who believed in me, every teammate who battled beside me, and every fan who showed up, cheered, and rode with me through the highs and lows, thank you. You gave me strength when I needed it most, and your love carried me farther than I ever imagined. 'I hope I made you proud out there. This isn't goodbye — it's just the next chapter.' Mathieu, 33, had re-worked his contract to stay with the Saints earlier this offseason. But now, he's elected to pass on that opportunity. 'We had a little advance notice on that, so it wasn't like we were surprised today,' Saints G.M. Mickey Loomis said in his Tuesday press conference. 'I'm a little surprised, but we had some advance notice. Just have so much respect for Tyrann and what he's accomplished. He's a legendary Louisiana player, legendary NFL player. Really appreciate his time with us. He was fantastic. And I don't have enough good things to say about him — a lot of good things to say about him. What a great career and just wish him all the best.' Loomis added he thought this just came up in the last few days and didn't make an effort to talk Mathieu out of it. 'I wouldn't do that, especially a player of his experience,' Loomis said. 'He understands himself better than anyone. So, I wouldn't do that.' 'I just think he's one of those guys who commands respect by his actions, his deeds,' Loomis added. 'He's got a great message. He's very thoughtful, intelligent, super smart player. About all the right things on the football field and his experiences in life. He's just fantastic.' A Cardinals third-round pick in 2013 after playing his college ball at LSU, Mathieu played his first five seasons with Arizona before signing with Houston as a free agent. He then signed with the Chiefs in 2019, helping propel the club to a Super Bowl victory over the 49ers as a first-team All-Pro. He was again an All-Pro in 2020, as the Chiefs won a second consecutive AFC title. Mathieu made his way back to Louisiana in 2022, signing with the Saints in free agency. He started all 17 games for New Orleans over the last three seasons, recording 10 interceptions and 24 passes defensed for the franchise. In all, Mathieu appeared in 180 career games with 171 starts. He finishes as a three-time All-Pro and a three-time Pro Bowler with 36 interceptions, 100 passes defensed, seven forced fumbles, eight fumble recoveries, and 11.0 sacks.
