Matthews suffered a jaw injury in Week 5 and did not return until Week 10 after signing a free agent contract with the Los Angeles Rams. Indeed a jaw injury is a big deal as it affects your ability to eat which can lead to issues including weight loss and loss of stamina. His play faded down the stretch and his jaw injury may have had a lasting effect due to nutrition. The other factor is the age of Matthews which could play into where he signs as teams may shy away from giving him a long term contract and instead give him a deal similar to what the Rams gave him last season. Matthews may be in the twilight of his career but is completely healthy as the free agency period moves along.
