Mathis allegedly on the trading block

[FadeToBlack]

From a friend who works for a major philly news station. He's been accurate in the past.

Busy so not sure if anybody else is reporting that on twitter and whatnot.

I can't imagine much of a market for guards his age.

 

[eaglesnut]

Saints just traded Grubbs for a 5th rounder.

 

[eaglesnut]

If we trade Mathis then we'll need two guards ??

 

[Northern Eagle]

They really missed him when he was out of the lineup, I hope they have a contingency plan in place to replace two spots on the line. Maybe they should draft a guard in every round to be sure.

If La'el Collins is still on the board at 20, take him. This year's version of Zack Martin.

 

[DaEagles]

WTF Chip...Just as you make up for some of your backasswardly (yes it's a word) ways, you now put your best guard and one of the best in the game on the trading block? We already have a hole on one side at G and now this.

Stupid Stupid Stupid

Mathis bitched about his contract last year, I wonder if he was an issue in the locker room. I think Chip is determined to build a younger offensive line. I would not be surprised to hear Peters name floated to.

Can't do it. Maybe next year if someone like Jake Fisher is your RG at #20, and then they all get bounced around - Lane to LT, Fisher to RT and a new RG, but you can't do that now. You destroy too much of your Oline.

Cant trade Shady, Foles, let Maclin , Heremens, Cole, Williams, Allen, etc leave either. Its Chippy you never know what to expect.

Hey that fine college education is paying off, you can now count to 2!!!

 

[SixthStreet]

I don't Chip is going to stop until it's his 53. No Roseman/Reid players left at all. Probably won't be able to completely accomplish it for another 2 years, but it won't be for a lack of trying.

The lines are a little different. You can flush a whole season down the toilet if you miss on a LT.

They said on the radio it's Mathis pushing for the trade because he wants his deal torn up and the eagles said no

I love Mathis. Ill be sad to see him go.

 

[mklugs]

Clearly this is a product of a disgruntled Evan Mathis.

 

[swat]

Rumor is Mathis to Saints for WR Kenny Stills.

 

[Wings]

Hey I posted a few hours ago I heard Kenny Still was available and I wanted him... Kenny Still can play.

I honestly think that Chip has no tolerance for players that complain at all. Foles supposedly was not happy in phi either. I think Chip is so use to college players that have no leverage at all, and are still trying to make it into the NFL and get playing time to showcase themselves, that he has less than average tolerance for anything along those lines. It's going to bite us in the ars a bit. But every coach has his pro's and con's. He doesn't have the tolerance that steve young did in dealing with ego players.

But the bigger concern to me now is - why are players not wanting to be in PHI?? Is it the way they work so hard in practice during the season that they are just lazy and think it's overkill??? It has a lot to do with keeping guys healthy thru the season. But I wonder if we are alienating ourselves from vet FA's.

Yet another player... unhappy in PHI...
