Tyrann Mathieu has agreed to sign with the New Orleans Saints.

Mathieu visited with the Saints at their team facility in April after he was not re-signed by the Kansas City Chiefs as a free agent. He also met virtually with the Philadelphia Eagles. But New Orleans' need for an impact safety increased when it did not select one during the NFL draft over the weekend.

The Saints lost both of their starting safeties this offseason when Marcus Williams signed with the Baltimore Ravens and Malcolm Jenkins retired.
