Robert Mathis Rumors & News

The first round is in the books, and now we turn the page to Day Two of the 2013 NFL Draft. For the Indianapolis Colts, selecting Bjoern Werner addressed a HUGE need for their team going into the 2013 season: Pass rusher. With Dwight Freeney gone, it was insanity to think that a group of Robert Mathis, Erik Walden, and Jerry Hughes was going to get the job done.

Today, Indianapolis Star columnist Bob Kravitz has reported, via an unnamed source, that the Colts have parted ways with seven-time Pro Bowler and three-time All Pro defensive end Dwight Freeney and wide receiver Austin Collie. Freeney's departure closes the door on a chapter in Indianapolis Colts history. Now, to be clear, Freeney is a free a...

First off, I have to beg Robert Mathis' forgiveness for not writing about his Twitter exploits last night, but I was recovering from a new, 30-minute workout routine that almost gave me a heart attack. Fortunately, Stampede Blue writer Josh Wilson caught Robert's brilliant but not-so-subtle Twitter suggestions on who the Colts should potentially target in free agency in 2013, and summarized it here. For this write-up, we'll just present Robert's tweets and let you, the reader, make up your mind as to who he is referring to: I can give 20 reasons why the Colts have potential for a seri...

When the news of the Vikings looking to trade wide receiver Percy Harvin hit the ears of one Robert Mathis, the Colts pass rusher went to Twitter to communicate his deepest desires: Vikes talking trade for Percy!? #WARNING!!
