The interest the Miami Dolphins have expressed in Pro Bowl offensive lineman Evan Mathis is still one of the league’s most persistent rumors. However, one factor in turning this buzz into reality has been his well documented price tag.
Recent rumblings around the football world have indicated that Mathis is close to a deal, but no one is mentioning a team name. It could be the Dolphins, it could be someone else. At this juncture it’s a vague omen.
However, if Mathis signs with Miami, the potential deal will eat up a good chunk of the Dolphins’ remaining $10 million in cap space.
