    It's definitely a high injury concern, very un-Texans like moving quickly in a fluid situation/decision and taking a calculated risk. Takes 18 months to fully recover from ACL, so we'll see. Be interesting to see if they put him in the box or not with his injury history. He is not a big guy, but...

    If Mathieu stays healthy and has a successful season how much would it take to resign him?

    Wow only someone hurting IRL would be as negative as you.

    All that effort for something you don’t like

    Probably back to what he was making (or scheduled to make) in Arizona: $10M-11M per year.

    Would it be possible to franchise tag after just a one year contract?

    They better not risk a holdout. Just sign him if he balls this year.

    Franchise tagging him after he took a way under market value deal to come here would be a really s**tty thing to do.

    May be shitty but better than losing him like AJ Bouye for nothing. ;)

    $11M/$12M franchise tag + $7M he makes this year, just slightly less than what he was scheduled to make in Arizona. (...I think.)

    Again, if he 'balls out'.

    Yep. I don’t think we will make the same mistake now that Rick Smith is kicked out

    If I was him and the team stabbed me in the back like that, I'd become a festering gangerenous sore on the ass of team chemestry.

    If you want him that bad, give him a legit 3 or 4 year contract. That is how they should have done it with Bouye, too. Their issue there was low-balling him.
