He’s still rehabbing from his knee injury, but Cardinals safety Tyrann Mathieu can backpedal.
In the moments after Richard Sherman’s $57.4 million mega-deal with the Seahawks, Mathieu wondered aloud what teammate Patrick Peterson might be worth.
“Oh boy, I wonder what @RealPeterson21 worth is... 60-70 million??,” Mathieu tweeted.
Sadly, he quickly deleted the tweet, and replaced it with the too-polite-to-be-genuine “Congrats to @RSherman_25.”
There’s nothing really wrong with the first tweet, as Peterson could make more simply by being next. While Mathieu might have exaggerated the scale, the idea that Peterson would make more isn’t necessarily farfetched.
