Report: Ex-Texans Safety Tyrann Mathieu, Chiefs Agree to 3-Year, $42M Contract

The Kansas City Chiefs and safety Tyrann Mathieu agreed to terms on a three-year, $42 million deal on Monday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport noted Mathieu was the Chiefs' "top target" in free agency this offseason.

Mathieu, 26, spent the 2018 season with the Houston Texans on a one-year deal. He recorded 89 tackles and two interceptions, quickly emerging as a vocal leader in the Texans locker room.

"He's got a powerful voice, and he's got a great life story that's still continuing," Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said, per Mike Jones of USA Today.
