Jim Miller breaks the news of Philly releasing Evan Mathis. "Wow. 32 teams will be after him." (laugh) "Well, 31. One will have no interest."

Wonder which team that is...

Wow. The Eagles supremely talented roster just took a hit.

No worries. I am sure Chip the genius Kelly knew this would happen all along. Which is why he hasn't drafted an offensive linemen in 14 rounds.

The Eagles now are left with two openings on the offensive line. Both guard spots will need to be filled, whether it's from in-house or with a signing or a possible draft pick. Either way, Mathis will be a tough player to replace.

The team currently has Matt Tobin, Allen Barbre, Andrew Gardner, Julian Vandervelde, Kevin Graf, David Molk, Josh Andrews and Dennis Kelly on the roster as backups. Jason Peters, Lane Johnson and Jason Kelce remain in the starting lineup.

I'll trade them Leary for two first rounders. ;)

What's wild is when teams rate the quality of each roster, they have Philly ahead of Dallas. Not so sure about that one.

Anyway, on this topic, I wonder if they even tried to trade him?

To the OP....change your header to something more informative. This is actually big news for Cowboys fans. This will hurt Philly.

Really starting to think Jerry Jones is paying Chip Kelly to completely dismantle the Eagles and then go back to college. I mean. Is this guy for real?

Chip's our little Samuel Culper. Nice job, Jerry.

"They're just all rotating," coach Chip Kelly said. "I think he [Allen Barbre] feels comfortable there. But I couldn't care less who [offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland] has in there. Just make sure there are five guys in there."

Kelly has a steep requirement for his offensive line

Hard to take seriously the notion that this guy's a football genius when he has such disregard for the quality of his O-lineman. Whatever. He's either going to change the way things are done in this league or flame out spectacularly. I'm betting the latter.
