Tyrann Mathieu retirement: Former Arizona Cardinals draft pick retires after 12 seasons
Mathieu played 12 NFL seasons, had three Pro Bowls and three All-Pro selections. A former Arizona Cardinals player who was key during their run of success in the middle of the 2010s has called it a career. Safety Tyrann Mathieu, originally drafted by the Arizona Cardinals, announced his retirement from the NFL after 12 seasons. He made the announcement on his Instragram account. 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. 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 isn't goodbye — it's just the next chapter. Much love, always. Tyrann 💚 If you read through the comments, you will see many former Cardinals teammates — Carson Palmer, Kerwynn Williams, Rashad Johnson, Justin Bethel, Jaron Brown, Tyvon Branch, Chris Johnson, Elijhaa Penny and Frostee Rucker — had kind words. And if you're wondering why Patrick Peterson wasn't in the comments, it's because he had his own Instagram post about Mathieu's retirement. He was drafted in the third round in 2013 and made an immediate impact. He was fourth in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting but tore his left ACL near the end of his season. He played in 13 games in 2014 but was great in 2015, earning first-team All-Pro honors, picking off five passes and breaking up 17 passes. But he tore his other ACL at the end of the season. After a big contract extension before the 2016 season, he played two more seasons before the Cardinals cut him. He played seven more seasons with the Houston Texans, Kansas City Chiefs and, for the last three seasons, the New Orleans Saints. In his career, he earned three Pro Bowl selections and three first-team All-Pro selections. The Cardinals posted a congratulary message to social media with the announcement. Mathieu finishes his career with 838 total tackles, 11 sacks, 36 interceptions, four returned for touchdowns, 100 pass breakups, seven forced fumbles and eight fumble recoveries.

Arizona Cardinals have a healthy and dynamic tight end room heading into 2025
The Arizona Cardinals have all their rookies signed after the final 'holdout' Will Johnson inked his deal today. So, we won't have to talk about that at camp. Instead, we can focus on the news as it comes out, but also continue to preview the position groups. Advertisement So far, we know the quarterbacks, we have discussed the running backs, and we have talked about how the wide receiver room may play out. Now, it is the tight end room, that if it stays healthy, may be the best in the NFL. Tight Ends - One question, who is the fourth tight end on the roster The Star - Trey McBride The Receiving threat - Elijah Higgins The Blocker - Tip Reiman The Battle - Josiah Deguara, Travis Vokolek The youngster - Oscar Cardenas The Cardinals will likely have McBride, Higgins and Reiman on the roster unless someone not named McBride just stinks out loud during camp. The question becomes who is the fourth tight end? Advertisement Is it the free agent signee Josiah Deguara or the veteran who has been with the team in Vokolek? And if one doesn't make it, can they make it through to the practice squad? This is one of the more complete rooms on the roster, how do you think the last spot ends up? More from

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."
