CelebnSports247.com reports that the 10th-year veteran insisted Wednesday that this was something he had been “manifesting” for the past couple of years, even while thriving with the Kansas City Chiefs.

He said his goodbyes to the Chiefs with a “Thank you.”

Mathieu pointed out the Saints were the only team he visited in person during free agency before he signed a three-year deal. The deal is worth $33 million with $18 million in guarantees.

He said:

This was the place I’ve always wanted to be. And I think most people around me, they wanted that, too. From there it was just about everything coming together, aligning. But I’ve kind of been manifesting this for a while now. Just to have this opportunity means a lot to me.

And when a reporter mentioned that Mathieu is about to turn 30 on May 13, he joked in response, “You said 30 like that’s old. I’m just heating up.”
