How long before someone signs Evan Mathis?

dennis07 · June 11, 2015 10:16AM

Article on his release from the Eagles

His article in Sports Market Report

wrestlingcardking · June 11, 2015 10:34AM

PSA has him and will not release him to BGS or SGC.

dberk12 · June 11, 2015 11:29AM

Bill Belichick, Joe Philbin, and Jeff Fisher were going to bid on him but changed their mind because Mathis was not PWCC Certified High End. Must be because he is 33 years old.

Dboneesq · June 11, 2015 11:45AM

Best of luck to a fellow board member. If he is still interested in playing I hope he hooks on to a team soon.

grote15 · June 11, 2015 11:51AM

The Jets could use some help..

Dboneesq · June 11, 2015 11:58AM

Tim, I think The Giants are a better option. Stay in the Division and show Chip twice a year what a mistake he made!

(BTW ... I'm sure Evan LOVES reading what us amateurs have to say! hahaha)

Denver too.

mrmint23 · June 11, 2015 1:31PM

This is one way to get him to the National during preseason. No doubt he'll find a team. Bama boys go out on top. RMFT

mknez · June 11, 2015 1:59PM

I wish the Browns had a spot for him, but OL is their strong spot. Hope he finds a spot, but after the National! Would love to rip some packs with him at the BBCE booth.

Exactly. The Aboushi/Colon training camp battle for RG is as bad as it gets.

PMKAY · June 12, 2015 12:56AM

Eagles offered him the chance to earn over 6 million next season - I'd be shocked if he gets that from any other team now.

Warriors8 · June 12, 2015 1:41AM

Evan is a great player and 2 time pro bowler. I think he will find another team soon.

gregf · June 12, 2015 1:54AM

He's been playing for 10 years and is 34 ... which is unfortunately old in NFL years. I think the NFL average career length is 6-7 years.

IMO he's still one of the best guards in the game but I'd say in reality he has 3 years left max. I hope he cashes in soon!

EDIT: He's still 33, but is entering into his age-34 season.

LarkinCollector · June 12, 2015 1:56AM

Just looked at teams available cap space and Jets/Giants/Broncos are not very likely without some contract restructuring. All are 25th or lower in available cap w/the Broncos at $7.6m with the most currently. Titans w/plenty of cap space and a new franchise QB to protect could be in the mix.

Pro Football Focus will tell you he is one of the best guards in the game but if that were true and he was available via trade the last two off seasons, why did no team offer up anything?

That is a good point, I guess because they want someone younger. If the sport wasn't so brutal on the players bodies than it'd be a different story.

Rotoworld says he was due $5.5 million in 2015 but wanted more. What's the take home on a salary like that after taxes, agents and other misc expenses ... like 2/5ths?

"Pro Football Focus will tell you he is one of the best guards in the game but if that were true and he was available via trade the last two off seasons, why did no team offer up anything?"

Trades don't happen all that often in the NFL plus with it being Chip Kelly and the Eagles I think other GM's were counting on the fact Mathis would be cut loose and available to
sign on their terms. It would be cool if he participated in the forum while he is waiting on his next NFL stop.

ergoism · June 12, 2015 2:50AM

This thread is boring. Mathis sucks.

KennytheRat · June 12, 2015 2:53AM

<< This thread is boring. Mathis sucks. >>

Yeah, but does Chip Kelly suck more?

Shouldn't this be in the Sports Talk forum anyway?

KbKards · June 12, 2015 3:15AM

Rumor has it Probstein is looking at him. The vacancy left by Spece has been devastating, and the guy already knows all the years on cards. He's probably already living in the Philly area and won't need relocation benefits. The only issues now appear to be salary requirement and a fancier title than consignment director.

Davis · June 12, 2015 3:20AM

<< This thread is boring. Mathis sucks. >>

Then I hope he goes to play for my Detroit Lions. 2 sucks make a 'not suck'.

That's probably his ultimate goal - to get out of his contract so he could participate in this form and rip packs at the BBCE booth at the National.

San Dee A Go, Super Chargers, baby! $9.5 million in projected cap room this year, and a lot more 2016-.

From ProFootballFocus.com: Team Needs - Guard: Johnnie Troutman continues to struggle, finishing the year as our lowest-graded right guard.
(I have no clue how difficult it would be to move our existing left guard (another below-average guy - Chad Rineheart) to the right side; hopefully doable)

Great weather, great people, a playoff caliber team. Let's make this happen!

wrestlingcardking · June 12, 2015 5:30AM

Evan may sign with the SF 49ers and just retire...... now that would be funny.

dberk12 · June 12, 2015 6:21AM

Mathis was ranked 1, 1, and 2 overall compared all interior lineman over the past 3 years. I would do cartwheels if the Jets signed him to shore up the OL. What is Chip Kelly doing? In November he is either going to look like a genius or a moron who is on the hot seat. I predict the later.

All makes sense except it could very well be the Los Angles Chargers of The City of Industry he's playing for in 2016

mikelowell25 · June 12, 2015 8:50AM

<< This thread is boring. Mathis sucks. >>

I agree wholeheartedly. The only thing that sucks worse than him is his collection; i mean, a 52 mantle in an 8 and a bunch of psa 1's that psa mislabeled by adding a "0" to the right of the "1"?!?!?!?! What a pile of crap!!

Largentcollector · June 12, 2015 1:01PM

I'd love to see Mr. Mathis play for the Hawks we need some OL help!

Only one thing Evan, if you sign with the Hawks I'll be PM'ing you all year to see how awesome Russell is lol.

PMKAY · June 12, 2015 2:42PM

....id be submitting 30,40,50 and giving them out to friends as gifts

Dboneesq · June 13, 2015 2:22AM

Tim ... Mike ... Eric ... Jim ... does this mean if he signs with a NY team that we have one more person to join us at Miller's Ale House to drink, eat and talk about baseball cards?

8x10s are way more cost-effective.

It doesn't get much better than a PSA 10 rainbow of one's self.

thunderdan · June 13, 2015 2:34AM

I think the real question here is how long before Evan signs a urinal?

wrestlingcardking · June 13, 2015 2:46AM

I think a urinal from the IRS signed by Evan and missing his "target" just prior would be most appropriate.

grote15 · June 13, 2015 2:48AM

Hey, at least it's not a signed urinal cake! LOL!

mrmint23 · June 13, 2015 11:30AM

That Mathis guy is a big spender.

His wife's from California, and they live in Scottsdale, AZ in the off-season.....Sounds like a good fit to me!

That was my first thought.

My second thought was that must have been some mighty fine wine. $46k of various cabernet.

While my passions are the Flyers and Phils, I do root for the Iggles. I wish he was staying.

Denver could use him and I wish they could make it work.
Depends on what they end up doing with Demaryius. If they sign Demaryius to a deal, paying him maybe $14-16 million per, that takes all the cap room.
If he ends up playing on the franchise tag this year for $12 million then maybe...

hammered · June 13, 2015 4:43PM

What? Only a 3% tip??? What a cheapskate
