Tyrann Mathieu on Saints Free-Agent Visit: 'I Don't Think They Really Need Me'

Tyrann Mathieu has interest in playing with the New Orleans Saints but isn't sure how much help he can provide the team.

"The last couple years, they've been like top-five in defense," Mathieu told Wilson Alexander of the Advocate (h/t Kevin Patra of NFL.com). "I don't think they really need me, but it would be good to go back home and help them win."

New Orleans finished fourth in points allowed last season after ranking fifth in the category in 2020. The secondary still has holes after losing Malcolm Jenkins to retirement and Marcus Williams to free agency.
