Sun, 15 May 2005 06:23:30 -0700 Tommy Hicks, of the Mobile Register, reports former NFL WR Terance Mathis believes the NFL's current salary system unfairly pushes battle-tested veterans to the unemployed line prematurely. "After eight or nine years (of service), you have to pay some guys more, and some teams think that salary is too much," Mathis, a 13-year NFL veteran said. "Veteran players are being punished by the salary cap, and I think that's wrong. Guys 30-, 31-, 32- (years-old), now they're out of the league."

Mon, 12 Jul 1999 02:50:00 -0700 Just because WR Tony Martin is no longer with the team, the Atlanta Falcons don't expect their passing game to slow down. The AP reports the team is very comfortable with WR Chris Calloway and Terance Mathis as their starting WRs. The players have been joking with each other on who will be the possession WR for the Falcons this year, but Mathis put it best when he stated, "You've got to understand if you're called upon to catch balls on certain routes, that's what you catch. If they pay you to go deep, that's what you catch ... it's just a matter of making some adjustments."
