It’s not often a Pro Bowl offensive lineman is released, but Evan Mathis was cut by the Philadelphia Eagles. He is exactly the type of player the Washington Redskins would have salivated over during the Vinny Cerrato and Bruce Allen eras, but there’s a new sheriff in town in Scot McCloughan. The new approach the Redskins are taking in free agency is measured, intentional and methodical. They won’t sign Mathis, and they shouldn’t.
Admittedly, all Redskins fans know that the 2014 offensive line was a major problem on a team with lots of them.
