If they haven't already shopped him from one side of the country to the other they are fools.
Odds are Matt Hazel will beat him out anyway. -
He has a decent amount of talent. I'm disappointed that he didn't develop into the player I thought he would become; whether it be because the coaching staff(s) never gave him a shot, or due to Matthews' own work ethic and attitude issues that have been brought up before.
Oh well.Hiruma78 and CashInFist like this. -
If Philly is desperate enough to unload Evan Mathis' contract, they could take a flyer on Rishard. Not only is he almost a decade younger than Mathis, but he's ridiculously athletic, and there is no doubt that Chip Kelly would value that. I could see Rishard in an Eagles uni anyways.
Make it happen, Hickey! -
7th round pick from a school that's hardly a football factory.
No really special physical gifts.
He's already been in the league longer than most guys in his position and is poised to have made more than 2 million dollars in his career by the end of this season.
Will be a UFA an free to go where he wants next March.
And he's raising a public fuss.P h i N s A N i T y and Ohio Fanatic like this. -
Cut him.

I mean, at least play like a diva wide receiver before you act like one.
He's done jack squat in his pro career to be demanding trades.Undisputed, Skyfire023, Unlucky 13 and 2 others like this. -
Trade him to Carolina for peanuts

Salted, or...? -

Matthews is a bit of an enigma to me. I remember liking the pick out of the draft and then him beating out BJ Cunningham to make the 53. The TB game his rookie year I thought was going to be a pleseant surprise of things to come.
But, after 3 years he's never been more than a 4th option and unable to beat out Oft-Injured Brandon Gibson and Brian Hartline. On top of that it seems he's had his moments of messing up nothing major but enough to seem he is in the dog house.
First off, I do NOT cut him as he knows the system and offers ST help.
I would make him very available in a trade.... Ravens, Philly, Panthers, KC, SEA, and Dallas all look like they could use some WR help.
We've been rumored to Philly before and Mathis is still needed.
With Collins going to Dallas I see him starting at OG right away meaning they could make Ronald Leary available.
Plain and simple if he get's beat out by a Matt Hazel in camp then obviously you cut him but don't do it now without trying to get something in return. -

He's got a legitimate gripe. The guy is good enough to be a contributor but he can't get on the field. Philbin has buried the guy and I'm sure doesn't even want him on the roster but we've had three personnel guys want to keep him.

7 round picks in their rookie contract, who have done little to prove themselves, should not be demanding anything, but earning them. -

I don't think this is new. I think he's wanted out for awhile. And now he sees four guys the team intends to have ahead of him. Which means if all goes as planned, he'll be inactive on gamedays.
Looking for an opportunity and a fresh start. -
He had one good game against the Bucs in 2013 on MNF

I suspect he will be cut sometime in pre-season, if not sooner. Even if he is picked up on waivers or as a free agent, I really don't see him being anything more on another team then he is with the Dolphins. A fourth or fifth WR and a special team player.
He has had plenty of time and opportunities to show he could be a top three WR with the Dolphins but he just never showed the consistency or the ability to rise above his mediocrity. If he isn't a member of the Dolphins during the 2015 season, it really won't be a loss for the offense. -
I'm in the minority, but I've just never been impressed with Matthews.

I never seen a guy beg for his release from this team as much as Matthews has. This is year 3 of pleading on his knees to let him go.

Rishard Matthews boycotting Dolphins workouts in hopes of forcing a trade
Seems Richard Matthews is feeling like the odd man out!

Don't blame him, the league is a business it is all about playing time..Landry, Jennings, Parker, going into his FA season
#4 Wr is not going to make a lot of $$$ -
Damn, you guys are harsh... Kid wants a shot and he's frustrated. I'm not saying we should give it to him over the other receivers, but I get it. He wants to go where there's an opportunity for him. Fine by me, best of luck if he's delt/cut.
-
I say keep him unless we get a decent offer. Why? Cause that's the worst thing we can do to get back at him and I'm vengeful like that.
At least keep him til through preseason. LOL. Suffer A-hole. -

Rishard Matthews boycotting Dolphins workouts in hopes of forcing a trade
By and large, an organization values you by what you produce. You get game snaps, which give you the opportunity to produce, by showing well in practice. He should be focused on being perceived to be the hardest working guy on the team, so as to beat someone out. He obviously realizes that the receivers before him are ultimately better than he is, so there's no opportunity for him here.xphinfanx likes this. -

This guy has a history of not being...happy with the Fins... This isn't the first time... It's ok, as a WR to be a diva, but first you have to prove it on the field... Given our history of flubs in the WR ranks while Rishard has been here, what's the issue ??
