Evan Mathis has been linked to the Miami Dolphins since at least the beginning of this off season with trade rumors. So when a week or so ago the Philadelphia Eagles released Mathis, Dolphins’ fans started going a bit crazy. What makes a player who the Dolphins cut, a player who is 33 years old, and a player who reportedly wants a boatload of money so appealing to the Dolphins?
The first reason is simple - left guard is the biggest questions mark on Miami’s offense. The left guard positon is most likely going to be Dallas Thomas who is at best, average and Jamil Douglas, who is a promising rookie but is still a rookie.
