Nobody in the NFL sees Mattison as a lead RB. He's nice, but not remotely special.

Mattison could be lead back on half the teams in the NFL right now. So if 50% of all teams is nobody then I think you're right.

I disagree completely but that's ok. He's a solid backup. Maybe 1 or 2 teams would entertain him as an immediate starter. Either way if we don't get a solid offer just let him walk next year.

If we trade him I bet he becomes the lead back for the team we trade him to. If we don't trade him and he walks next year watch him become the lead back for the team he signs with. Mattison is a good RB.

It's a funny phenomenon. Not funny ha ha, funny lame.

People that play lame or dumb...but it's on purpose. You know it. They know you know it...but it plays bc people are really dumb on the internet. And plenty of people don't know the poster is playing.

I say go for quality content. (yes my play to Scott was quality)

Jason and Travis Kelce are brothers, and both play in the NFL. Jason plays for the Philadelphia eagles at the center position, and Travis plays for the Kansas City Chiefs as a tight end.

He's got a little bit of beast mode in him.

I love the guy. I advocated trading Cook this offseason and elevating Mattison... Considering the pass happy offense we are about to run, it made sense to me to replace the high priced never plays a full season Cook with a hardworking cheaper, even after extending him, back that can give you 90% of what Cook did anyway.

the people that play dumb are the Meatsauces of the world. Now I'm sure you don't know who that is. A local Radio personality on the KFAN's morning show plays a doofus on the show and the others mock and ridicule him. It's all very juvenile, but in postgame shows, he usual has a lot of good incite on what happened in the game.

His real name is Paul Lambert. but he goes by Meatsauce. and it is IMHO a stupid schtick.

Rumor was Mattison to Eagles for veteran C Kelce (as he lost his position).


In a heartbeat. I would do that in a heartbeat.

No flinching. No second guessing. Just do it.

Go for it.


Do you think we should?


Mattison is, IMHO, better than Nwangwu and Chandler, but they aren't terrible. We really only need them to spell Cook and cover the few games Cook will inevitably miss. We desperately need a better Center than Bradbury, i would say that Kelce qualifies for that . Knowing Mattison will NOT be back next year get something for him...we won't lose much here and the gain of a Kelce over a Bradbury in ability and experience alone would be a huge benefit.

Jason Kelce Center has been a very good professional football player. I have no idea how much or little his skills have deteriorated with age. If not much than trading Mattison for him makes loads of sense, but then his contract has to be factored in.

I find it mildly amusing and appreciate Matt for doing it.

Does that mean we're down to 5 WRs? Tyler Johnson come on down. You're the next contestant in the Vikings #6 WR sweepstakes.

Many begged him to trade up into the second, but luckily Rick was smarter than everyone else and drafted 6 guys, 4 of whom were cut a year later.

He was named Meatsauce by Mike Morris when the Power Trip was his show. It has never been the same since they fired Morris. Now I call it the Morons in the Morning......but the youngsters seem to eat up their juvenile antics.

Taking Mond over Mills was f'ing stupid.

Spielman was very good throughout his tenure at picking the wrong qb.

How anybody listens to the kfan morning show is something I will never understand. It’s like a bunch of early puberty boys talking.

Only time I listen is to hear Ben Leber after Vikings games and half the time they talk over him about stupid junior high stuff.

But Kelce has spent a lot of time at TE. With Bradbury's biggest weakness being undersized for the position, wouldn't we be trying to fix a problem with another guy with a similar problem?



We are not talking about the TE from KC. We are talking about the C from Philly, The TEs brother.


This is why Matt gets ragged on.. for one example…
He only dabbles in football..

KFAN hasn't been good for 20+ years.

Tafoya and Rosen, Hartman and Barreiro when they worked together because they somehow suppressed the worst tendencies in each other, etc.

Paul Allen and Common Man were the beginning of the end.

Actually I like Rosen, Leber, and Cove when he talks sports....about 3% of the show. Rosen actually makes the Common Man relevant when he is on.

I think Rosen should have his own show; probably short lived as between him, Common, and Dan who know how much longer they will feel like doing it.
