USA Today: "Mathis on trading blocks"

According to this report (look at the bottom under the "short kicks" section) in USA Today, you could say the Clint isn't on the waiver bubble. In fact, he's not even near it.

I am surprised that "about five teams" have shown interest. That means that at least two teams that made the playoffs are willing to consider the idea of putting $410,000 on Mr. Mathis.

In all honesty, Clint looked frustrated here. I realize that RSL is still looking for a style and a system, but Clint was not connecting with what ever experiments were going on with the side. He doesn't do well carrying a team. He'll be your sniper and score for you, but he has a hard time as a team uniter and motivator.

That's not to say that he could turn around a second wind of his career in another system.

Somebody on BigSoccer poked at the idea of trading Gaven for Mathis, not sure why the Metros would do such a thing but the thought gave me goose bumps.

Didn't Gaven play of Ellinger before?

If you manage to get value for Mathis, you should get down on your knees that worship at the door of your Front Office. And I think you will.
