1. It was a hypothetical, I think if the Seahawks do sign Mathis, it will be for about $4-5 m, pushed over 3 years to put that cap hit to $2-3m range for 2015. Could be less, could be more.
2. I did state youd trade Myers for LJP's spot. So, it wouldnt be redudant at all.
Myers who has more experience (than all 3 of our centers combined) and 8 years of starting experience on the inside (can play guard). And as stated, he was an elite run blocker at his position last year.
And with a decade within the ZBS he would be an excellent stopgap mentor for all our young inside players: Britt, Sweezy, Glo, Nowak, Bailey, Milton, Lewis, Soloki... Whoever they decide to keep. Hence, giving up a little more money than the vet min for his expertise.
Im just saying if Britt and Gilliam continue to show promise at LG and RT respectively. The weakest position on the line is center it seems. They could theoretically move Mathis to OC...
But for less money overall and for about the same 2015 cap hit, what if you could add a decent ZBS OC with superb run-blocking ability and an elite blocking TE at the same time.
If im the Seahawks, I would at least entertain the idea, I know they talked to Myers awhile back and im not sure how close they still are to Miller or if he's healthy but he would be in a more limited role if he came back.
But again its just a hypothetical question.
