Mathis seems to be too small to play for DC Jerry Gray.
Gray likes to have bigger guys on defense.

Nelson’s a possibility, as is Nakamura. But money will
determine whether or not any of these guys get signed…

Are Browns looking at Mathis? I hope so.

Oh pretty please let them go after Nelson. That guy is one of the worst tacklers in the league and is victimized by any WR with a halfway decent double move. All the physical skills to justify his 1st round selection. No drive. No brains. No heart.

It has been reported that Mathis & San Diego have mutual interest. I’d look for him to wind up there along with Tyvon Branch.

Buyer beware on Mathis. The numbers are impressive, but there are a few factors that give me pause:

1. He’s been playing across from Dwight Freeney. That helps a lot.
2. He’s 30. Once he loses that burst, his value drops massively. It’s coming sooner rather than later.
3. At 6-2, 245 pounds, he’s smaller than most 3-4 LBs, let alone 4-3 ends.
4. Indianapolis has done a fantastic job of making good players out of marginal talents, thanks to its scheme. See pretty much every LB who has every started for them.
5. Can he hold up against the run?

I hope he’s wrong, and that I look back on this post with great shame. But I would be very nervous if my team gave him a big contract.

Keeping Michael Griffin would be a total waste.

It would be just like the Titans to go after aging players.

I still have hope that with the new GM the Titans will have a great draft and rebuild our defense with FUTURE players that are hungry and play hard.

As long as it’s not OG Evan Mathis. Philly would be wise to hold onto that dude.

Here’s hoping the Packers take a run at Mathis. If they lose Wells they can draft Konz and use the money on this pick up.
