Mason wil meet with Ravens head coach this week

According to the Baltimore Sun reports, Derrick Mason has made his plan to meet with Ravens head coach John Harbaugh this week, discussing about his retirement.


As most people think that the Ravens seem to only be targeting mid-level free agent receivers, it may indicate that they believe Mason can be swayed into returning. Rumors saying that Mason may not be sincere in his retirement is most possibly just a product of the media outlets surrounding the situation. However, the more they do, the more they make the isse to be taken with a grain of salt. We’ll focus on the word out of Baltimore later this week. So do not talk about Mason wearing jaguars jersey before that.

But obviously for now, fantasy owners should avoid Mason in fantasy drafts.

Ravens wide receiver Derrick Mason has decided to retire after 12 NFL seasons

It was really a surprise when I got to know that Ravens wide receiver Derrick Mason has decided to retire after 12 NFL seasons.


“On Friday July 10, I received a call from my client Derrick Mason,” agent C. Lamont Smith told the Baltimore Sun, “and he advised me that after careful and deep thought he had made a decision to retire from professional football.” He will wear no more tampa bay buccaneers jersey.

Mason told Smith that he did not feel up to the enormous demands that professional football requires and the decision has already been delayed out of respect for his friend and former teammate Steve McNair, who was murdered by his girlfriend earlier this month.

As an underrated fantasy wide receiver, Mason posted 1,000-plus yards in seven of his final eight seasons between Tennessee and Baltimore. He was also a tremendous asset in PPR leagues, recording 80 or more catches five times since 2003.
