Now I don't know if Mathis can cover on teams as well as Thrash could, so that's a question mark. But if he can, I can definitely see Thrash being expendable.

I don't think this is the end for thrash, hes inexpensive, can cover on special teams, and hes durable. Those three things are I think good reasons to keep him.

Mathis is not a big dude 5'11 191, and injured a ton last season, only played 5 games. I'm not sure even if we kept him that he would be tackling anyone on special teams.
