The Chargers traded up to the 12th pick in the first round of the 2010 draft to select Mathews. The two sides have discussed an incentive-laden deal in order to retain his services.

Mathews had a career year in 2013 running for 1,255 yards on 285 carries with 6 touchdowns. Last season he was limited to six games played as he suffered multiple injuries.

The sixth-year running back was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2011.
