Free agent safety Tyrann Mathieu is visiting his hometown team.
Mathieu, who was born and raised in New Orleans and was a star at LSU, is visiting the Saints today.
However, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network characterizes it as more of a casual visit while Mathieu is in New Orleans with family and friends, and says that no signing is imminent.
Mathieu was a third-round pick of the Cardinals in 2013. He played four years in Arizona, one in Houston and the last three in Kansas City.
It’s been a quiet free agency period for Mathieu, who is No. 20 on our list of the Top 100 free agents. The Saints are the first team he has visited.
