CSN Philly's Geoff Mosher reports the Eagles may release LG Evan Mathis if they can't trade him.
PFF's No. 1 guard in 2013 and No. 2 guard last season, we're not sure why the Eagles are so inclined to get rid of Mathis. The Eagles are between $7-8 million under the cap, so they're not desperate for money. Shedding the 33-year-old would save $4.5 million. At 6'5/298, Mathis is an athletic guard and would ideally land in another zone-blocking scheme. Mathis could probably be had for a fifth-round pick. The Rams and Dolphins were linked to him earlier this month.

That is from Rotoworld. He would be a #1 priority. That would give us 4 excellent or high quality O-Line guys, meaning we can afford to have Billy Turner in there as RG. This frees up our draft too to concentrate on our Secondary and WR. If the Eagles want to get rid of him, offer them a 5th rounder and see what happens.

Fins are on a youth movement, not sure they sign a Olinemen on the plus side of 30 who will want a decent sized contract.

I hope Miami would make an attempt to sign him but I doubt they will. I see Mathis ending up in NE at the end of the day

Wouldn't be a long deal, 2 years with an option tops. He is still playing at a high level and it's a huge area of need.

Even if he does end up in NE, then we take their RG that's a free agent. Gotta get someone.

I think the Fins already did, his name is Walton. That was their big FA o-line signing I have a funny feeling. Hope I'm wrong

I think you're right too and that scares me. I have no hope for this season other than I hope Tanny doesn't get paralyzed.
