The Facts: According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, signing LeGarrette Blount probably winds up sealing the deal on Mathews' departure from Eagles once he's healthy.
Diehards Line:
No real surprise here. Mathews appeared to be on the outs as it was and Blount was a more effective short-yardage and goal-line runner last year. And with a backfield also featuring Darren Sproles, Wendall Smallwood and rookie Donnell Pumphrey, that's going to be an important role.
