NFL insider doesn't think Evan Mathis will be on the Eagles this year

Tim Heitman-USA TODAY Sports

If you were hoping for some good news about the Evan Mathis situation, prepare to be disappointed. ESPN NFL Insider Adam Caplan, who is very plugged in when it comes to the Eagles, shared the following thoughts in appearance on 97.5 The Fanatic on Friday evening:

Mathis has reportedly been seeking a raise for over a year now. The Eagles have obviously shown no interest in rewarding the 33-year-old guard. The team has made him available for trade, but according to Chip Kelly the Eagles have received no offers.

The fact that Caplan feels pessisimistic certainly isn't a good sign. As noted above, he's a very reliable reporter. A report from CSN Philly's Geoff Mosher earlier this offseason indicated the Eagles could release Mathis if the team is unable to trade him. Mathis is a good player so cutting him obviously wouldn't be ideal, especially since there isn't great depth behind him.

It remains to be seen how this situation plays out.
