In 2016 Tyrann signed a five -year contract worth $62,500,000 with the Arizona Cardinals that included $15,500,000 as a signing bonus. He has $40 million guaranteed and his average salary is $12,500,000 dollars per year. His net worth is $1,475,000 dollars. In 2016, Tyrann Mathieu stopped playing for a while because of an injury: he suffered a shoulder subluxation while playing against the Carolina Panthers.
In 2017 Tyrann recorded an interception on quarterback Jacoby Brissett in the overtime period, leading his team to a 16–13 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. The pick set the Cardinals up to win the game on a Phil Dawson field goal. Tyrann recorded his 2nd Interception of the season on Jacksonville Jaguars’ QB Blake Bortles late in the 4th quarter, allowing his team to reach the overtime, when they won 27-24. Tyrann led the NFL in total snaps played with 1,263, the first season the Honey Badger played in all 16 games.
On March 14, 2018, Tyrann has been released by the Cardinals after he refused to take a pay cut.
In an interview he said "I think there are different ways you can go about restructuring you contract," he said in an interview with NFL Network (via Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site). "Some guys like their money up front, some guys put it on the back end. The tough part is when someone asks you to take a pay cut. I don't think that makes sense for a lot of players."
A couple of days after being released by the Arizona, he has been signed by the Houston Texans to a one-year, $7 million contract.
Tyrann is gambling on himself, but he also went to a team with quite a few established stars, but many have been injury concerns like Mathieu.
Tyrann is not married yet, but he has two children from two different women. The first one is Megan Edwards who is the mother of his first son. His current girlfriend is Sydni Russell who is not yet his wife, but she is the mother of his second son.
