Tyrann Mathieu isn't your normal third-round draft pick, and he won't be treated as such. He could be subject to extra drug testing and SI.com's Peter King reported Monday that Mathieu's rookie contract with the Arizona Cardinals wouldn't include any guaranteed money. That would be a highly unusual arrangement, even for a player like Mathieu, who is grateful to the team that gave him an opportunity and the concept is news to Mathieu's agent, Pat Lawlor. "Ridiculous," Lawlor told NFL.com's Ian Rapoport on Monday. "Not going to happen. We had no contract discussion with them." Lawlor confirmed that Mathieu is comfortable being subjected to weekly drug tests, and they understand a contract that "protects" the Cardinals makes sense. But Mathieu's agent fully expects to get the guaranteed money afforded to a player of his draft slot. Source: NFL.com
he'll get guaranteed money, just like janoris jenkins did but he may have to put the drug test stipulation in
