Tyrann Mathieu Rumors: Teams Concerned Vet May Have 'Lost a Step'; Steelers Scouted

Tyrann Mathieu is a three-time All-Pro, but some interested suitors might have reservations about the veteran safety, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Fowler reported on SportsCenter that "the concern from some teams I talk to is that maybe Mathieu has lost a step because he's played nine years, a lot of mileage."

Per Fowler, the 29-year-old may not rush into a decision and "probably wants to go to a contender." The Pittsburgh Steelers have considered a pursuit but only have $13.5 million in salary-cap space.

Mathieu made his third Pro Bowl in 2021, finishing with 76 tackles, three interceptions and six pass deflections.
