Eagles G Evan Mathis on Trade Block [Merge]

[HtownColt]

@RapSheet: The #Eagles are working to trade G Evan Mathis, source said. More craziness.

[bavanlan]

Murray/Mathis to the Colts for Gore/Herrimans.

[12dalegend]

So bring in Murray so you can trade your O-line away this makes no sense

[backshoulderfade]

Chip Kelly is going to be ran out the league with torches and pitchforks after this season.

Probably has philly fans at the facility now lol

[PrincetonTiger]

Chip has an unique plan for success

[backshoulderfade]

He's like Sonny Weaver Jr from Draft Day

[12isthenew18]

Send a 6rh and donald thomas for him

[oldunclemark]

Chip has an unique plan for success

and fewer and fewer see his vision...

[COLTS449]

LOL at Chip Kelly. They're going to be rioting in "brotherly love" pretty soon. And I wont blame them. Chip has taken a pretty good playoff caliber team, and destroyed it in a matter of days. LOL. Make my words. Chip will be fired by the end of next season.

[Indeee]

Mathis s the guard we should've taken.. if we'd of only waited. Dang

[GoColts8818]

what about the Eagles off-season has made sense to this point?

True, but talk about from bad to worse you sign 2 CBʻs from Seattle overpay them and switch RBʻs for about the same $ and let your best WR go, trade a young cap-friendly QB for an oft-injured overpriced QB, but hey at least you got your Oregon boy Kiko

[oldunclemark]

They sign 2 RBs..and trade 2 OLs...

......I'm stupified

[PhillyCOLTSfan]

i really hope Grigs can pull this trade off Mathis is a top 5 guard in the league, we get him put him next to AC, move Mewhort to Rt boom we now have one of the best lines in the league, then all u Grigs haters can finally start showing him some love #inGrigsItrust

[dgambill]

Not sure about this one...unless it involves moving up in the draft I have no clue where he is headed....but I kinda doubt Mathis is going anywhere.

[Superman]

This is prompted by Mathis and his agent, not the Eagles. Just FYI.

 

Eagles have given Mathis's agent, @RosenhausSports permission to seek trade before.Philly going to run out of players who pre-dated CK there

@jeffphowe: The Patriots have expressed interest in acquiring guard Evan Mathis from the Eagles in a trade, according to a source.

Maybe it does make sense...Mathis turns 34 in November.

That's a really logical move for New England. Their interior O-line needs a guy like Mathis.

[PeterBowman]

according to rotoworld(rooter), a trade is close but who the other team is, is unknown.

[The Peytonator]

B-b-but, Evan Mathis is a zone lineman, just because he's the best in the league doesn't mean he could make the transition to our man blocking scheme.

[Track Guy]

I've got this annoying theory that Chip is going to taker Jake Fisher at pick 20. It annoys me, because I'd like to see him in Indy. But if you connect the dots between Oregon, his athleticism, and Chip getting rid of elite O-lineman, it makes me think he likes one he thinks he can get in the draft early on. 

[HtownColt]

Somebody ask Chip Kelly is Marcus Smith on the trade block as well

Pats are interested in Mathis.

[#BringBobBack]

I'm sure this has been talked about before but it seems the Eagles are keen on getting rid of him

 

I think he would be a great one year starter to help Mewhort develop behind him and let him

 

and Herremans be the starting RG and LG let the young guys rotate in says he could be had

 

for a 5th or even wait til he's released and sign him was PFF's #2 G last season

[CR91]

why stump the growth of mewhort for a 34 year old guard

[BullsColtsFan1]

Do we have anyone from Oregon to trade for him?

Mewhort is our 2nd best Lineman. He absolutely does not need time to develop. Ridiculous idea.

[The Peytonator]

I would sign him so hard he'd be wrecked for the next team. 

 

Have him play LG, and let Reitz, Mewhort, and Herremans fight it out for RG/RT. 

[Wesk7]

If release maybe sign him and let Mewhort play RT. We could cut cherilius and Thomas and save 5 to 8 mil this season.

cutting GC is not cap friendly. it would basically be dead money. its better next year to cut him.

i like this i like the intensity

[#BringBobBack]

i say let him play he can be a great RT just injuries did damage to him last year no point in cutting him

[CR91]

im not for cutting him. just explaining the cap situation

[#BringBobBack]

Mewhort is our 2nd best Lineman. He absolutely does not need time to develop. Ridiculous idea.

i'm saying give him time to learn from herremans and mathis he can only get better and if he beats one out for a starting spot great

 

i hardly think it's a ridiculous idea but it's good for all young players to develop and learn from solid experienced veterans

[#BringBobBack]

im not for cutting him. just explaining the cap situation

i'm all for extra cap space such as cutting thomas to pay mathis we need some extra money especially if richardson screws us

[CR91]

seems the colts want to give thomas one more chance. he is a good guard when hes healthy and we can always use depth.

[Superman]

Post-June 1 cut saves $4m on the cap this year, $4.1m on the cap next year.

i'm saying bring in a highly productive veteran for him to learn from and rotate with
