Evan Mathis released

[patsinthesnow]

@RapSheet: The Eagles just released Evan Mathis

Time to use that cap space?

@nfldraftscout: "Should my team pursue Evan Mathis?"

Unless your team is the Ravens, Cowboys or Packers, yes.

@nfldraftscout: Lot of teams are going to want this guy. No. 2 ranked guard in #NFL1000. @EvanMathis69 https://t.co/YyG58ierGr

Pounce

 

[Deus Irae]

Now available to the highest bidder.....

 

[patsinthesnow]

@nfldraftscout: Evan Mathis is 33, turns 34 this season, so I'd look for him to try and get on a team he can win a ring with.

 

[signbabybrady]

Sign the beast!

 

[farn]

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

 

[KenSims]

Broncos have the room to sign him? They need him the most, right?

 

[RobertWeathers]

He looks like, "The Ogre" from Revenge of the Nerds.

Not sure what kind of money he'll demand but based on his contract gripes with Chip, my gut tells me he won't get it here.

 

[varjao]

That would be a hell of a one year rental.

 

[TBR]

Elway's desperate ass will probably give him a blank check

 

[BlueThunder]

Do the Pats really want to spend big $$$ on an aging LG ? Find a veteran CB to sign and I'll be happier.

 

[Kontradiction]

We have a hole at LG and Mathis would fit nicely. Do it. The team has the cap space for such a move.

 

[Ivan]

Denver is the most likely destination because they are the most desperate but I really hope the Patriots make a hard run at him.

 

[Froob]

I actually don't think our line is that bad. But, if he can be had for cheap then sure. Tre Jackson is pretty much groomed to play right away right?

You can only work with what is available and I would love to see Mathis bridge the gap for the young guys.

Looks like the team is at ~$11m in space.

Why did the Eagles cut him btw?

We don't know yet. Both G positions are still a question.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

Cut Gilbert and Wright today..

Replace them with Flynn and Mathis?
