really. umm yea that would fix our pass rushing. Imagine the depth. Wilfork, carter, cunningham, ellis, anderson, brace(after week 6), love, haynesworth. We just put wright on ir. Let's trade for the beast

This would be HUGE. I don't see why the Jets would want him, since they're the only team on there in a 3-4. Didn't Aaron Maybin and Vernon Gholston teach them anything?

Wow, interesting rumor. If we weren't running more 4-3 this year I would dismiss this idea. But he's probably an upgrade over Carter as long as he's healthy. Also could be a subpackage rusher too. He had 11.5 sacks last season and already has 3.5 sacks this season. Can we say hello passrush? 4th rounder for Mathis? Make it so BB!

Nah, I think Ellis goes to the bench. And we play Mathis-AH-VW-Carter.

So what is the source?

And how do the Patriots play into what was said?

I'd pass. I think if BB let the DL not worry about also playing the run, you'd see much higher sack totals. I don't think he'd be worth the investment.

Really? Can you name anyone currently on this roster who could realistically get to double digit sacks like Mathis? This defense needs help. Even if Mathis is a 'rental player', adding a credible passrush could potentially help this porous secondary so much!

And did you honestly say - "if BB let the DL not worry about also playing the run"? Hello, if you don't stop the run in this league, you're dead in the water. 3rd and longs are a lot easier to stop than 3rd and shorts. If you're not stopping the run on early downs you're setting yourself up for 3rd and shorts and that opens up the playbook for the opposing offense.

After hearing this rumor, I am looking at other team websites to see if there is any link. Jaguars forum is saying its Mathis and Reggie Wayne. I would give up a 2nd and 6th for both of them.
