"The Eagles just released Evan Mathis" -Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet)

"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. #OnYourMarks" -Pro Football Focus (@PFF)

If we can get him on the cheap he or Blalock should be in camp soon!

Wish we could grab him - although no idea how much he's looking for.

Instantly would become our best lineman

i so hope your wrong

Rhaney and/or Jones as Guard? They are both backups. I can live with either one of them as Center not both. Please and let's not get started on Jamon Brown when contrasting his skill set with Evan Mathis

Well, first opportunity to see what Snead and Fisher might do outside of the youth movement.

Get your popcorn! :popcorn:

Evan Mathis at age 33 is only going to decline. Also i dont see him wanting to come here unless we over pay him. I think he goes to a team he feels is a contender.

Nick Foles is gonna bring him in. Need some veterans on this line and some competition on the inside.

Mathis is a better fit in a ZBS. If we acquire him, I hope they pay him accordingly.

Which could be a good fit - impossible to know right now. We do know they are incorporating ZBS concepts into the offense and we've heard there are several changes - but there's a lot of stuff that Cig is apparently doing that aren't being released yet either.

I also think his presence would be a huge benefit to all the young linemen we drafted

HELL YES I WANT MATHIS. Best OG in the entire league. Even if he regresses a little bit, he's still an immediate upgrade and gives us a veteran presence for a year until Jamon Brown develops. Plus it'd put a veteran next to every rookie on the team.

Plus I hear he's really good friends with Foles. Let's bring him in.

"Ex-Eagle Evan Mathis is still a real good player. Turns 34 in November, was due $5.5 million for 2015. We'll see if he can make that up." -Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer)

I think overpaying a guy like Evan Mathis by $2 million/year is worth it given the state of this OL and in the interest of winning season. 2 year $10 million. $6 million guaranteed looks a deal to me. Can we expect Jamon Brown to play like Evan Mathis in 2015?
