Evan Mathis, The Best Guard In Football, May Just Cost Too Much

Anywhere between 8-10 teams want Evan Mathis. A few poo-poo his age. But it's not the calendar that's delaying a signing -- it's that he's worth more than he's been offered.

"My body of work was limited last year due to the injury," he told Farrar. "I'm very much ready to come back strong for an entire season and have my best year yet. I'll listen to the age talk when I lose a step."

Mathis seems to be echoing the SPARQ/PFF numbers on this one -- he is objectively the most athletic player at his position in the game, despite his age.
