As the free agency progresses, Tyrann Mathieu remains one of the hottest Safeties on the remaining list of players. Interestingly, numerous teams like Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos are on the verge of signing a deal with the 30-year-old. A few days ago, Mathieu was rumored to get recruited by the Steelers as they needed a significant safety for the team.

However, the team’s general manager Kevin Colbert quashed all the rumors and clarified that they are not going after the former Chiefs’ safety. But now it seems the defensive stalwart is in huge demand; among a certain number of teams.

Which teams are the front-runners?

According to the recent analysis of Jordan Schultz, the star is receiving interest from Dallas Cowboys, Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints, Denver Broncos, and the other five teams on the list.

In mid-March, Evan Massey reported that Colts and Chicago Bears were the two dark-horse contenders, but so far no updates have been received from either team. After Tyreek Hill got traded from Kansas City, Mathieu became the hot topic of discussion.
