Wow! Eagles put Evan Mathis on trading block to avoid $5.15M salary
This guy is the real deal at LG. Maybe the best in the league the last year or two. He's 32 but with minimal wear & tear as he played backup his 1st 6 seasons. He would surely be a big help to a young LT.
DeSean Jackson isn’t the only Pro Bowler the Eagles might trade. The Eagles are also willing to trade Pro Bowl guard Evan Mathis, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Like Jackson, Mathis is a good player whom the Eagles’ offense would miss. But there are issues related to Mathis’s contract: Mathis is due $5.15 million this season, and there’s been talk that he thinks he deserves more than that as a first-team All-Pro, while the Eagles don’t want to pay a guard who’s turning 33 this season that much money. When the player wants more while the team wants to pay less, that’s not a good combination. After bouncing around the league as mostly a backup for six seasons in three cities, Mathis has emerged as an excellent guard in Philadelphia, and he still has three more seasons remaining on the five-year, $25 million contract he signed with the Eagles before the 2012 season. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...may-trade-him/ |

I think this says a lot about what the NFL teams think the salary cap will be in the upcoming years.

Amazing how all the people who seem to piss on every move we make and always expect the worst are predicting that we will take an o-lineman because it's the thing that will piss us all off the most. lol. I think taking a G with our first pick, may be the only pick that actually will piss me off. |

I didn't see it mentioned but the main reason behind this was that Mathis asked for a pay raise in his contract above his 5 million dollar a year contract.
