One reason the #AZCardinals felt comfortable trading an OL today? Source said Evan Mathis visited them today & they offered a 2-year deal.

Someone could be so nice to post a list of the top 10 free agents offensive lineman available?

He could be this year's Larsen, although Mathis is a much better player of course. But in terms of veteran depth he can fill in both guard spots and compete with Watford or whoever we draft. This would be a great signing. He has always caught my eye as a player who leaves it all on the field and loves the game.

Mathis (34) played in 1,010 snaps last season. @PFF ranked him 3rd overall run blocker, and 32nd pass protection.

that quote suxx...but for whatever it is worth.....the quality of a linemans play has a lot to do with the guys around him. a piss poor center and a sketchy tackle can make a guard look really bad.

on the other hand...if he was the one making the others look bad....damn.

Age doesn't matter if he can still play. He has proven it this year. It doesn't erase our need at RG. Beside Watford and our PS players, we need young talent there. But would you rather go into the season with Watford, a PS player and a draft pick battling it out at RG? Veteran leadership can't hurt our OL. Hence Mathis could be the veteran glue between a rookie center and Humphries, who is basically a rookie.

They better make sure they have rock solid pass blocking guys around him to round out the line.

32nd best guard at pass protection and will be 35... Not overly excited about him should he accept
