The Philadelphia Eagles released two-time Pro Bowl guard Evan Mathis on Thursday after he skipped OTAs due to a contract dispute, and there's a good chance the Minnesota Vikings could be one of the teams in the mix for Mathis as he tests the waters of free agency.
Here's Matt Vensel of the Star Tribune with his take:
Mathis turns 34 in November and is presumably looking for a multi-year contract, but he would be an upgrade on many NFL offensive lines.
So count on him having at least a handful of suitors. And if that’s the case, Mathis will be able to weigh all the pros and cons then pick his next team.
It is not known if the Vikings are one of those suitors, but they did balk at trading for Mathis when the Eagles were shopping him this offseason. Now that draft compensation is not required, it could be a different story.
