Evan Mathis

[lollygagger8]

I think the Colts should look into Evan Mathis at Guard. That would give Thornton a chance to get another year under his belt, or if Thomas doesn't recover we have Thornton and Mathis as guards. Plus, he made the pro bowl last year. Especially with ties to Philly, Grigson might possibly have an inside track on him. Even if Grigson doesn't, I definitely think he's worth a look since our depth on O-Line leave a lot to be desired.  

 

Here's a great write up on him:

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'snot 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.

Drafted in the third round of the 2005 NFL Draft, Mathis has started all 16 games the past two seasons for the Eagles.
