The Dolphins didn’t hesitate to slash veteran salaries during the offseason. But now, ex-Philadelphia guard Evan Mathis, a Pro Bowl selection last season, is available. He’ll want a few million dollars a year. The question is how badly the Dolphins want, or need, Mathis.
The Dolphins have major questions at both guard positions. Everyone knows that. And considering the man-eating defensive tackles they’ll face in the AFC East, this could be a huge problem.
At left guard, Dallas Thomas, a third-year player, is trying to stave off a challenge from rookie Jamil Douglas, the fourth-round pick from Arizona State.
