Yup. Getting rid of Matthews looks worse every day. We were better off just holding on and waiting him out, but they got spooked with the Edelman suspension
They didn't really "get rid" of Mathews.
He injured his hamstring at the very start of Camp and was sent to IR on August 2nd. He requested and received a settlement release on August 7th, which meant that the Pats might have been able to re-sign him as early as week-4.
He was spotted working out at Boston College with Edelman as late as September 15th (week-2). The Pats traded for Gordon a few days later, and Mathews accepted an offer from Philly a couple days after that. He played for Philly in week-3.
