Tyrann Mathieu gets $40M

[Nightman]

After 3 seasons, 2 ACLs and a drug problem he gets a 5yr extension worth 62m with 40m guaranteed

Imagine if this was DAL, would it ever work???

The guy is a top tier elite talent hasn't been in any trouble since being drafted. Well deserved extension.

Two ACLs is troubling

Two ACLs is troubling

Very troubling but he's work the money when healthy.

Just surprised they jumped a year early and still blew away the nearest S contract....Harrison Smith just got 28m guaranteed

He's 24 and one of the better safeties in the league and potential to be THE best. Deserved.

Not a bad third round pick.

We get Gregory and they get Mathieu.....he had just as many questions and dropped even farther

Honey badger has been good on the NFL level for sure. I was skeptical about his game translating to the pros and his size. is PP a better mentor than I thought I suppose.

Arizona's "program" to keep him straight actually worked, unlike ours. Ironic that Honey Badger was completely off our board, but they blew a 2nd on a guy who failed a drug test at the combine.

Hope Gregory can turn it around like honey badger did.

He has a lot of work to do off the field before we even think about on the field....it takes 2 years of being clean to get back out of the Stage 3 Drug Program

I wish we would of drafted him. Guy can play all over the field.

He got picked at 69 and we were at 74 and went with TWill. Given his off the field issues there really wasn't any way we were going to trade up for him. But you are right he would have been a great draft pick for us.

Apparently, he was completely off the Cowboys' board.

Yeah I know it was just looking at it now type of idea. Would of make a great story for us considering the problems of I image we have now.

I'm a draftnik through and though, but I have to admit I didn't forsee Mathieu having this sorta success in the NFL. I likened him as more of a opportunist than a true safety.

I never expected him to grow up
