Still think I'd rather have Armstead.
A) I think he's a little better than Matthews
B) He would probably cost less in terms of acquisition cost and definitely costs a little less in terms of cap.
C) I think he's a little more likely to actually be available.
That said, I do recognize why some would prefer Matthews. The durability is pretty damn impressive. And the difference in ability is pretty negligible -- they're both awfully good, especially in pass pro.
But Atlanta has so much more sweat equity into Matthews (who they drafted and who's played over a decade for them) than Miami has in Armstead, who was a cheap trade and relatively cheap contract. It shouldn't really matter but it does. He's a 'face of the franchise' type player for them. I'd just be really surprised if they had any real interest in moving him.
