Tyrann Mathieu retires from the NFL
Via his social media, Mathieu announced his retirement from the NFL. The long-time Saints safety is hanging up his cleats and moving forward in life. The Honey Badger is ready to move on from the gridiron.
As I hang up my cleats, I’m filled with gratitude as I close this chapter of my life and officially retire from the game that’s shaped me in every way. From my first snap in college to my final play in the NFL, this journey has been nothing short of a blessing. Football gave me purpose, discipline, and memories that will stay with me forever.

To every coach who believed in me, every teammate who battled beside me, and every fan who showed up, cheered, and rode with me through the highs and lows, thank you. You gave me strength when I needed it most, and your love carried me farther than I ever imagined. I hope I made you proud out there. This isn’t goodbye — it’s just the next chapter. Much love, always. Tyrann
