Eagles Resign Evan Mathis

         On Saturday, the Eagles answered a big offseason question by agreeing with gaurd Evan Mathis to a five-year $25 million contract with $7 million guaranteed. Last year Mathis,signed a one-year deal last summer to provide depth on the Eagles bench. He would become a starter all year at left guard. He played his best football of his career as a full time starter for the first time since the 2006 season when he was with the Carolina Panthers. Through a bleak and dissapointing season Mathis was one of the brightest and most surpising stories for the Eagles last season. Mathis played at a very high level both on the run and pass block. The Eagles last season was his fourth team he played for in the last five years.
        Mathis hit the free agency market last week and the Ravens jumped up on him and gave him an offer he visted the Ravens on thursday and returned to his Arizona home to think about his offer. Through the last week Mathis has been tweeting messages that caused experts and fans on where he would be going.
        With the resigning of Mathis the Eagles have their entire offensive line, which could turn out to be the best in franchise history. Jason Kelce and Danny Watkins were both rookies last year are signed through 2014, all-pro veteran Jason Peters is also signed through 2014. Todd Herremans signed an extension last week that goes through the 2016 season, and Mathis's deal goes 2016 too.
