Don't we already have Harrison Smith? Mathieu is a good player, but we already got a premium version of that swiss army knife

He can play nickel CB... I think he'd be a great fit there and has the versatility to slide back to safety.

Unfortunately, I think some team offers him more than the Vikings.

I'm not sure we are still in the market for such a high priced FA at this point. My guess is we will sit back for a while, maybe re-sign some of our own guys, and otherwise wait until the money has mostly dried up.

Thought he was more of that hybrid safety like Harrison. Just smaller and not as good.

Wasn't he All Pro a couple of years ago? Either way, this guy can play.

Yes, but my point was that he plays basically where HS is. So not really a position we need to spend more on.
