Offensive line depth is important to any effective offense and the Indianapolis Colts could always use more. However, offensive guard Evan Mathis might be fool’s gold.
The Philadelphia Eagles released Mathis on Thursday. Before people go into the Chip Kelly is a madman argument, they should understand why they cut the Pro Bowl guard. Mathis had a five-year, $25 million contract. However, he only played nine games last year. The Eagles wanted him to restructure his contract, but Mathis refused so the Eagles cut him.
Mathis is okay for an offensive guard at the age of 33.
