Rashean Mathis to retire as a Jaguar next week
Ex-NFL cornerback Rashean Mathis will sign a one-day contract to retire as a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars next week.
What It Means:
Mathis ended his career with the Detroit Lions, but enjoyed his best years in Jacksonville with 30 interceptions over ten years. He owns the Jaguars' single-season record for most single-season interceptions -- eight in 2006. Mathis made only one Pro Bowl in his 13-year career, but was always one of the NFL's most underrated cover men. He may get some consideration for the Jaguars' Ring of Honor.
In just seven games of action last year, Mathis racked up 30 total tackles, one interception, and four passes defensed. The Lions took a huge step back last year in passing defense, ranking 25th in Adjusted Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) per play after ranking 10th in the metric in 2014.
