Evan Mathis placed on Eagles trade block
DeSean Jackson has some company on the Philadelphia Eagles' trade block.
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday that the Eagles have made it known that Pro Bowl guard Evan Mathis is available via trade, per a source informed of the situation. Rapoport adds that Mathis has been placed on the trade block due to his high salary of $5.15 million due in 2014, and the 32-year-old is seeking a new deal after a stellar campaign last season. At the NFL Annual Meeting in Orlando, Fla., coach Chip Kelly said he hasn't talked to Mathis yet, per the The Philadelphia Inquirer. Rapoport reported that Kelly says he's not worried about Mathis, calling the All-Pro a "lunch-pail guy." With Mathis joining Jackson, another Pro Bowl player, on Philadelphia's trade block, it seems to be a transition period for the Eagles' offense. So far this offseason the NFC East champions lost Week 1 starter Michael Vick to the New York Jets in free agency, acquired the speedy Darren Sproles for a fifth-round draft pick and have their sights set on former Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez. The Eagles did manage to hold onto receivers Jeremy Maclin and Riley Cooper. Drafted in the third round of the 2005 NFL Draft, Mathis has started all 16 games the past two seasons for the Eagles. |

Like I stated in the other thread he was mentioned.....I'd bring him in if we could get him to agree to a new 3-4 year deal that has a low cap hit in the 1st year.
They're apparently banking on a competition between Rishaw Johnson and Jeff Linkenbach. |

32 year old, high priced guard. As good as he is and as much as I like the idea of a top notch offensive line, that just sounds like a really bad idea.

As bad as going into the season with Rishaw Johnson and Jeff Linkenbach competing for the spot? Did we trade two 2nd rounders for Alex Smith or was I dreaming that? |

If they think they still need an upgrade at guard, I'd rather see them take a guard in the early-ish in the draft or find a younger, cheaper free agent guard in the second wave of free agency.

I'm not interested in paying through the nose AND giving up a draft pick for a 32 year old guard. You apparently are. We'll have to agree to disagree on this one.
