Evan Mathis Signs One-Year Deal With Arizona
Offensive guard Evan Mathis has signed a one-year, $6 million deal with the Arizona Cardinals, per multiple reports.
Mathis came to the Denver Broncos in August of 2015, right before the start of the regular season. Denver's plan was to start him at left guard.
Mathis seemed like he'd be the perfect fit for Gary Kubiak's zone blocking system. Smart, athletic, quick. It was a last-minute signing by John Elway.
However, Mathis got off to a slow start and battled injuries through most of the season. He rotated with rookie Max Garcia frequently, especially down the stretch and into the playoffs.
