5 Teams That Should Consider Trading For Evan Mathis

Philadelphia Eagles guard Evan Mathis has been the subject of trade speculation going back to the start of the league year in March, but Chip Kelly couldn't find a taker. On Thursday, June 11, the Eagles severed ties with the veteran guard, sending him to the free agency pool.

Mathis is now free to sign anywhere, and here are five teams that should have interest in him.

5. St. Louis Rams

The Rams were rumored to have interest in Mathis early in the offseason. Even though starting left guard Rodger Saffold is progressing well as he recovers from offseason shoulder surgery, Mathis would be a big upgrade.

4. San Francisco 49ers

4. San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers will have to reshuffle their offensive line with the sudden retirement of right tackle Anthony Davis, which stands to create a void at guard. Mathis would fill that void, and likely at a high level after being rated very highly by Pro Football Focus in each of the last two seasons (No.1 guard in 2013, No.2 guard in 2014).

3. New England Patriots

Bill Belichick could certainly see treasure in Chip Kelly's trash. Mathis would take over at left guard for the Patriots, and be an instant upgrade.

2. Atlanta Falcons

2. Atlanta Falcons

Atlanta inexplicably did not draft an offensive lineman until the seventh round this year, and the recent addition of Chris Chester hardly seems like enough with multiple players working their way back from injuries. Mathis looks like a great fit for the Falcons, and he could come fairly cheaply in a trade if the Eagles are serious about moving him.

1. Miami Dolphins

1. Miami Dolphins

Dolphins-Brad Barr USAT — The Dolphins have been tied to Mathis off and on for a few months, since they lack great options at guard. With the most recent speculation from Caplan as a guide, Miami could be renewing their interest.
