It looks like the Green Bay Packers will keep Clay Matthews for a little longer. According to Mike Silver of the NFL Network, the Packers want to re-sign the Pro Bowl edge rusher. However, it will all depend on his market, meaning if a team is willing to give Matthews a big contract, the Packers could let him walk.

"They would like to have him back, but it's going to depend on who comes after Clay Matthews and how hard," Silver said.

Before the Packers' final game of the 2018 season, Matthews talked about his future with the Packers and he's curious to see how things will play out this offseason.

"That's part of the business as well," Matthews said. "That's part of negotiations and figuring out contracts. A player thinks they're worth X amount and the team feels like they're worth this amount and you meet somewhere in the middle. Obviously, with my situation, this is my first time -- I'm assuming once this year's over -- being a free agent. We'll see what that means moving forward. There's a lot of things in motion with the Packers organization right now as far as head coaches and players and things like that, but we'll see down the line where it all fits and I end up."

If there is one team that could go after Matthews, it's the Miami Dolphins. Marc Sessler of NFL.com named the free-agency fits for all the AFC teams and Matthews was named as a fit for the Dolphins. Here's a look at what Sessler had to say about the Dolphins and Matthews.

"I'm throwing darts here, but this feels like a 2019 Dolphins move to me. Amid whispers the club plans to shy away from its history of dropping mega-millions in free agency, look for the Fins to pad both sides of the ball with more affordable talent. Turning 33 in May and coming off a 3.5-sack campaign, Matthews is no lock to return to Green Bay."

2018 was an interesting year for Matthews. In the first three games of the season, Matthews was called for three roughing the passer penalties and one of those penalties changed the outcome of the game. The one that stood out was the Week Two contest vs. the Minnesota Vikings Matthews hit Kirk Cousins as he threw the ball late in the fourth quarter. Jaire Alexander intercepted the pass and it would have ended the game. However, Matthews was flagged for roughing the passer and that led to Cousins leading a touchdown drive and the game ended in a 29-29 tie.

Matthews only posted 3.5 sacks in 2018 and has not had a double-digit sack season since 2014. He had a Pro Football Focus grade of 65.3 which is ranked 59th for all edge defenders. Last year, Matthews led the Packers in sacks with 7.5 and 21 quarterback hits. In 2016, Matthews only had five sacks with nine QB hits as he only played in 12 games.
