Report: Colts "not making a push to sign" Evan Mathis

According to the Indianapolis Star's Stephen Holder, the Colts are "not making a push to sign" recently-released Eagles guard Evan Mathis.

The Philadelphia Eagles recently released guard Evan Mathis, who is one of the top players at his position in football. He wanted a new contract (he was set to make $5.5 million in 2015) and the Eagles didn't want to give it to him, so they released him.

Given the Indianapolis Colts' need along the offensive line (and particularly at the guard position), plus the fact that general manager Ryan Grigson has deep connections with the Eagles and tends to bring in some former Philly players, many wondered whether the Colts would be interested in signing Mathis.
