    Eagles release Mathis

    Wow, one of the best Guards in the league for many years.

    Cutting Chris Williams and signing Mathis would be a huge upgrade.

    He is 33 years old so nothing more than a 2 year contract makes sense.

    It would probably take $5M a year with almost all of it guaranteed.

    Let Incognito and Miller fight for the remaining Guard position.

    I think we dont have the Cap left. Especially if we want to sign Dareus.
    And he asks for a lot of money. He wanted a new contract from the Eagles, although he was well compensated. Although this might have been only because he hates Kelly.

    Mathis did want a new contract and was making $5.5M this year and $6M the following year, but perhaps it wasn't the amount so much as that none of it was guaranteed. Perhaps $10M over the same 2 years would be enough if it was all guaranteed.

    This guy is currently rated as one of the best Guards in the NFL and made the Pro Bowl each of the last 2 years.

    He would be worth moving some money around including cutting Chris Williams.

    Incognito and Mathis should not even be typed in the same paragraph together let alone the same sentence.

    He was rated as the top run blocking Guard last year and we want to run the ball.

    It's a reference to McCoy accusing Kelly of racism

    @PFF
    Evan Mathis was our top graded OG from 2011-13, and was 2nd last year in just 9 games. Best OG in the game now available.

    true but no money is no money. unless they decide to make more moves on the top of the roster or change philosophy and start deferring cap, they just wont have the money
