Evan Mathis Situation Could Haunt Eagles’ Decision to Not Draft OL

This lingering Evan Mathis situation is worth keeping an eye on because it is legitimately a cause for concern.  Will he still be on the team come September?

As I’m sure you’ve heard, Mathis is a no-show this week at voluntary OTAs.  Yes, they’re voluntary but this isn’t the case of Mathis picking out sconces instead of practicing with his teammates.

For two years now he has been unhappy with his contract status and has wanted to redo his 5-year, $25 Million deal.  The Eagles, of course, aren’t budging as Mathis is set to earn $5.
