All these are from Benjamin Albright. For perspective, Albright was the first to suggest Foles would be traded from the Eagles to the Rams and the guy who suggested the Peyton Manning to Houston trade (obviously never happened but I think it's clear that the Broncos were open to trading Manning this spring).

What do you guys think about $20m guaranteed? That seems pretty stiff to me. Not sure BB would be in at that level if true.

Allbright's an abrasive radio crank in Denver who throws **** at a wall and hopes it sticks. Some of it has, but most of it does not. He's not trustworthy.

edit: lmao missed Mathis saying thay

He is certainly cantankerous and I stopped following him on twitter for just that reason.

His shtick is basically to throw **** at the wall and then scream at everyone who challenges his nonexistent sources like a huge baby, but this is the first time I've seen a player just be like, nah.

To be fair though, I think he and Matt Miller and others who have opinions get some real crap from their followers. Some of the things these people have to put up with is just ridiculous.

dont think bill is interested in this guy.

Maybe, but not at the numbers mentioned.......
He's looking to get paid and likely sit out the dog days of training camp...
He might start getting antsy as it gets closer to opening day and if he's still not on a roster....

I think he can if he grows over the next two weeks. His problem yesterday as in the run game rather than in pass pro and that's supposed to be his strength. maybe he just had a bad night. He still looked really good when moving to the second level which is his strength. He just needs to get stronger at the LOS.

Manx, I know Mason is your binkie, but he is really starting to grow on me too

, really like his upside and if we get Stork back, that could be a really good interior o-line for many years to come.

It certainly could. And if Mason-Stork-Jackson does become an effective interior OL for the next 5-10 years then kudos to BB for re-tooling it in just two years using nothing more than 4th rounders.

Which is funny when you consider he got one 4th for Mankins.

@OmarKelly: The Dolphins are out of the Evan Mathis sweepstakes folks. Not sure they get back in. Sink or swim with what they have for now.

@OmarKelly: The Dolphins will begin bartering for trades this week, offering up their extras for another team's extras. We'll see what happens there.

...or the most desirable bidder. Older players sometimes go to winning vs cash. Others, as our pal Revis, like to get paid.

Yes, but he first had a winning interlude

Do cut players have to go through waivers?

manxman2601 · Aug 23, 2015

Apparently Mathis was on Reddit and said he prefers to go out with a bang rather than maximising his contract:

(Reddit commenter)"Maybe he wants to go out with a bang, but he could go the other way too & just want the most money." To which he (Mathis) responds "Bang bang."

I don't know any context or whether that's confirmed to be Mathis or whether he's just messing about but if it's the case, that must put us and the Seahawks in prime position I would think. Supposedly he also rubbished, again, the notion that he's looking for $20m guaranteed.

@MikeGiardi: Couple injury updates. Stork is close to a return. Lafell recently got boot off. Later than expected. No panic though.

Nothing on Wendell, whom is still on PUP 18 days from opening day.

BB can't be serious about Jackson, Mason, Kline as his guard rotation...

Unless Wendell is ready, that's what we have. BTW, one of them is also our backup center.

Nope our backup center is going to be David Andrews

I completely agree.
He & the rest of the OL looked terrible last night.
Hurry the feck up Bill and sign Mathis, an honest-to-goodness professional LG.

I hope not. I'd rather have Kline, whose snaps looked pretty good last night.
Andrews is nothing more than a weak, UDFA-talent midget.
