NFL Notes: Aldon Smith, Evan Mathis, Bills, Cardinals, & Texans

Aldon Smith

  • Pro Football Talk points out thatย Aldon Smith latest arrest involves both substance-abuse policy and Personal Conduct Policy, which could lead to “significant” suspension.
  • Jason Fitzgerald mentions that Smith won’t be subject to waivers.

Evan Mathis

Alex Marvez of FOX Sports tells 560 WQAM that he believes the Dolphins are “slow-playing” free agent G Evan Mathis, and it’s a smart move overall.

โ€œWell I think you just keep letting this play out,โ€ Fox Sportsโ€™ Alex Marvez said on the Joe Rose Show Friday, via CBS Miami. โ€œI mean why not? Evan Mathis isnโ€™t going anywhere right now. No one has met his contract number. So thereโ€™s no harm no foul here for me from a Dolphins standpoint.

โ€œLetโ€™s see what these guys can get done. Letโ€™s see what can happen with these guys in a preseason game or twoโ€ฆ I think the Dolphins slow-playing it is smart. I mean why overpay when you may not need to?โ€

Bills

  • Bills HC Rex Ryan ruled out the possibility of signing free agent RBย Ray Riceย on Friday during an interview with Pro Football Talk.
