Shawn Matthias has been practicing with his Florida teammates despite the fact that he is still waiting for a new contract. "I've been waiting all summer for a call to say it's being done," said Matthias, who is a restricted free agent. "I can only control working hard and coming in here and getting ready for camp as if I were signed." Florida assistant GM Mike Santos has said before that the team won't give him a one-way deal, but he believes that Matthias can win a roster spot out of training camp if he plays up to his abilities.
