    If we sign him and it doesn't destroy our cap for the next few years, this offseason will be an A+ (right now an A- because of the OG situation).

    If we sign him...that says to me the organization is expecting a DEEP playoff run, possibly including AFCCG/SB.

    Is that a reasonable assumption?

    Don't hold your breath. I don't sense a lot of mutual interest. I could be wrong but as much as we've talked about it for multiple years, probed at the possibility of him being in Miami, etc...we've almost never gotten a ping back on it.

    Ya that's what I was pretty much expecting...I don't know if that many teams are going to offer a crazy amount for him though, else he woulda probably been traded, no?

    Go get him Tannenbaum! Just the late off season addition we need. Would be nice to have an OG to put in work vs Richardson, Wilkerson, Williams, Dareus, Kyle Williams etc. This would be a GREAT fit!

    Just the fact he's not on the Eagles and Chip is destroying that roster is entertaining enough for me. Signing with us would just be icing on the cake, very sweet icing too!

    Anyone up to date on the list of teams that might be seriously interested in him? I'd like to look into their situations more closely.

    Could some of that on this side have been due to having to pay Mathis and giving up compensation?

    With the compensation that was being asked, if you want Evan Mathis at that salary level then you'd have interest despite the compensation. If you don't have interest at that level of compensation it's probably because you just don't have much interest.

    If he tests the waters and finds nobody wants to pay him anything then yes I could see Miami making a jump into the fray. But otherwise...

    I know next to nothing about Mathis' situation in Philly and why they released him. I know next to nothing about the Phins interest in him outside of the info here. My wishful thinking with Mathis is simply based upon us having three young, unreliable guys competing for two starting spots... and, now there's a veteran who has played at a high level just sitting in free agency.

    The guy might be too expensive. He might be a headcase. I don't know. All I know is, I don't feel particularly confident about our current guard situation and signing Mathis would make me feel much better about the overall prospects for this football team.

    Preposterous!!!!!! Chip Kelly only releases the good black players!


    Seriously though, go get him Hickey or Tannenbaum or whoever would indeed make said decision.

    For once, I hope you're wrong CK. All the improvements we made on offense will be diluted IMO without an upgrade at guard.

    Weve already pretty much broke the bank so go for it.
    OL is really the last area of high concern.
    Time to make a run.

    It would have to be a weird three year deal where his cap hit in 2016 is nil; because we already in deep deep cap hell come next offseason.

    I dont care what it costs, get it done. Get Mathis in a Phins uniform. The OL has held this team, and this QB back for the last 2 years now, if not longer. The guard position is still unknown. Get him in here, ASAP. Then I'd say were good at every position but maybe LB to start the season. You can't complain about that.

    Only way I see this as possible cap-wise in 2016 is if we ASSUME we'll be able to draft well enough to replace a few decent aging starters or just one really good aging starter. And to be competitive past 2015, I think we're going to have to do that anyway. Look at it from that angle and it's not that impossible cap-wise to sign Mathis.

    For example, is it that improbable we'll be able to draft a replacement for both Jennings and Misi in 2016? Or to draft a replacement for exactly one of Albert, Wake or Grimes? I know we'll have to make decisions on guys like OV and Miller, but then again Jordan should be gone (helps a bit), the cap itself will be raised quite a bit in 2016, and we can "steal" from future caps if necessary for those future signings.

    I'm thinking a draft on the same level as it looks like we've had the past 2 years (assuming first impressions aren't that far off), and Mathis looks possible.

    Different in paying for him twice though .Once the it's the acquisition cost , and then it's the salary .

    Obviously now there is zero cost to signing him excepth his salary , which may be structured quite differently now that he is released.

    Suffice to say , IF Miami wants him , they can make a strong play for him .

    Sorta like a 68-inch waist for a Guard is like a 34-inch waist for a running back.

    mathis to me is suspicious..I know for a fact that the he hangs out with some folks who have done a cycle or two in their day, and he looks to me like he's done one or two himself...I don't care if we sign him or not, Id just assume find out what we got with our three draft picks..I'm sure Aponte has things under control..if theres money to be offered, then so be it.
