Mathis?

[Mitchell_NY]

he would be a great fit for us for 3rd round pick. We have the cap room and we could definetly use him. Trade our third rounder for him, draft the Notre damn OL Martin and in the second round take carlos Hyde.

that would make the most sense. whats everyone think?

Unfortunately because some guys start off threads with the words "INTERESTING," and "Possible trade ideas," everyone, including me, posts a new thread about Mathis. Hope the posters will work on titling their threads a little better. :rolleyes2:

Merge.

Mathis who? The old corner from Jacksonville?

 

[ITS!MATEO]

A 3rd round pick for a 32 yr old Guard?

 

[Vaark]

A 3rd round pick for a 32 yr old Guard?

and a reworked contract no doubt with guarantees and a couple of years of job security. Thanks but no thanks

i thought espn said he was 27, not 33.

a 3rd round pic for a 33 year old player is not worth a 3rd rounder, even though he still plays at a high level.

at 33, anything can happen, quickly and being 33, he wont be on a roster for another 6 to 10 years. if he was 26-27, then a 3rd for a pro bowl player is right in there.

but NOT at 33.

Give them a 5th and give him a 2 year 12 mil deal, 8 mil guaranteed

The funny thing is that we had Evan Mathis back in '08.

 

[NYNCDOLFAN]

5th rounder is high as you go

The funny thing is that we had Evan Mathis back in '08.

I remember most players But I can't remember him. Who got rid of him?

 

[Carne Asada]

BP, Sparano, Ireland. Not 'powerful' enough for Meatball's tastes.

He is 33 and the reason he is on the trade block is because he wants a new contract worth a pretty penny....

ORLANDO - In February, Evan Mathis' agent, Drew Rosenhaus, went to the Eagles and asked for a new contract for his client, sources close to the situation told The Inquirer on Wednesday.

The Eagles said they wouldn't tear up Mathis' five-year, $25 million contract two years in and suggested to Rosenhaus that he shop the All-Pro guard to other teams. The agent did so at the NFL combine in Indianapolis and in the month since, but very few teams have been interested in acquiring the 32-year-old, the sources said.

The Eagles would want a third- or fourth-round draft pick for Mathis, an NFL source said.

The situation seemed to come to a critical mass on Wednesday at the NFL owners meetings, when the story was first reported, but the end result will likely have Mathis staying with the Eagles for at least the 2014 season.

The team views Mathis as a very good guard in their system and would be more than willing to pay him his $5.15 million base salary. But some teams have been lukewarm about him because of his age and because he's not considered a traditional mauler or a scheme fit, two NFL general managers said.
