He points to the contract that the Cowboys gave Livings.
1. Paul Alexander started Mathis in front of Livings in 2009 when Evan deserved to start. In 2010 Mathis was an out of shape slob who did not deserve to start.
2. It is true that teams don't give big money contracts to players who have played like crap. Many free agents play like crap AFTER they sign a big contract, but in the ultra-competitive free market of NFL free agents teams do not hand out big contracts to players who have looked like crap.
