Is Mathis done as a Jaguar?

Who thinks that was Rashean Mathis' last game as a Jag? I kind of do.

Gene has been known to make the team younger and the upcoming draft appears to have a lot of secondary depth (not to mention our roster itself with coleman, middleton, and cox. not a comment on their current quality just on our depth).

He's having a good year, his first healthy one in a while, but now he's 32 and suffering from an injury from which a lot of athletes never return. Not only could that have been his last game as a Jag, it could have been his last professional game ever. Who would give him a contract?

Short answer: No he's not done as a Jaguars

Long answer: Assuming Gene Smith is back, Mathis makes the secondary better. I don’t see him asking for money that the Jags would balk at for a player of his caliber. He’s still one of the most productive members of our secondary despite what talk radio has said about him.

I think he can be had for something not out of the avg price range. I believe he wants to stay in Jax especially after seeing this defense's turn around.

I hope he's not done

I would sign him to a 2 year deal and start him on PUP. Secondary injuries are bound to happen next year too.

I say he is finished as a Jag.

No matter who is GM or coach, unless he signs cheap after testing the waters I don’t see him staying a Jag.

I envision a draft in which CB is a top priority now.

Worst Passing Offense in the league

That will remain the reason WR is a top priority for 2012

He might be finished as a Jag but

it is definitely not his last game as an NFL player. He will get picked up elsewhere. Teams that comes to mind are the Lions and Patriots.

Can't stand the truth?

Mathis we be back...

2 year, $10M… Its not a major knee injury, i dont think. Torn ACL’s are like catching “colds” too these guys. I hope he is brought back. Mathis is one of my fav Jags. The team at least should honor that with the respect that he was playing pretty damn good before the injury. Wayne had like 2 catches on the guy.
