The Eagles are expected to sign free agent RB Ryan Mathews, according to Mike Garafolo of Fox Sports. Well that came together quickly. Initially, Garafolo reported that Mathews was only coming in for a visit. Apparently talks between the two sides were further along than he had anticipated. The Eagles flirted briefly with DeMarco Murray on Tuesday but they were never going to beat Jacksonville or Oakland in a bidding war. Mathews flashed talent during his up and down stay with San Diego, but his durability is a huge question mark. He's only played all 16 games once in five seasons. He'll be the featured back in Philadelphia with Darren Sproles seeing most of his work on passing downs.


Would be a good signing if he can stay healthy at all

I might put some money down on him leading the league in rushing. I wonder what the odds will be.

A Chip Kelly back is going to get a ton of carries. If the odds are like 40/1, it could be a pretty smart play.

tough to get tons of carries when you can't stay on the field. Seriously, whats his longest stretch of games he's played in without incident?

I get small risk, high reward, but that one isn't happening.

It sounds like Chip Kelly's master plan was hastily drafted on a wet napkin.

I just think it's smarter to hope a guy won't get injured than hope a guy suddenly gets good at football.
