Evan Mathis didn’t get a new contract from the Eagles. He’ll now have a chance to get one elsewhere.
Per a league source, the Eagles have released the 11-year veteran only two days after word surfaced of his unhappiness with the team’s decision to rescind an offer from 2014 to pump up the back end of his contract.
A third-round pick of the Panthers in 2005, the 33-year-old Pro Bowler becomes a free agent. He can sign with any team.
Mathis joined the Eagles in 2011, qualifying for the Pro Bowl in each of the last two seasons.
