Well i don't know, but we'd better get SOMEONE signed who can block.

I'd trade a 6th for him. We need an OG bad and Mathis is elite. 33 years old sucks though, and a decent sized contract to boot. Can't trade away anything of actual value for him.

They might be looking for another player for player trade, though.

I'd trade Tavon for Mathis and our 5th round pick back.

Anyone hear the rumor that the Rams are trading Tavon Austin for Mathis? One of my boys here in Philly said that is the rumor.

I'd be open to trading Tavon, but not for an old Guard who may not be any good 2 years from now.

It would make sense since Tavon is just the type of explosive player that Chip covets but there has to some other compensation seeing that Tavon was the #8 pick just two years ago. I know the Rams have not utilized him to his potential but there is a lot of value in a guy who can change a game like Tavon can. We will see I guess.

No way.

Tavon's going to be an absolute star.

Let me just edit this - we need a guard yes - but Mathis is on the downslope now - so you get 2 years maybe out of him - and for that you swap a young kid full of potential? We can find a guard elsewhere.

Chip Kelly would need bodyguards if he did that. A first would be too expensive for T.Austin.
I'd take their 3rd rounder and Mathis for Austin.

So the rumor is we are trading Tavon farkin' Austin before giving him ONE season with a starting caliber QB, after trading up to get him only TWO years ago?
For a ZBS guard in the twilight of his career and has the scent of Scott Wells on him...?

I think that might really piss me off.

The scary (and mutually exciting) thing is that this offseason, any rumor, no matter how batshit cray-cray it is, has to be considered a possibility.

I like the player but at 34 that's too old for me. No more of these older players that are on the decline. Sign younger guys going into their primes or draft some lineman. He may have played well last season but his play could nosedive very soon. I'll pass and I hope the Rams do too.
