Mathis, 33, was unhappy with the five-year, $25 million contract he signed in 2012 and has skipped all of the Eagles' offseason activities, which were voluntary. The Eagles were scheduled to have three days of mandatory training next week. Mathis could have been fined if he failed to report for those workouts.

Mathis was set to make $5.5 million in 2015 and $6 million in 2016. He has led all Eagles offensive players with 3,675 snaps in the past four seasons, according to ESPN.
