As part of the Ravens salary cap relief, the organization is expected cut their most production wide receiver, Derrick Mason.
The veteran will be cut from Baltimore along with running back Willis McGahee, tight end Todd Heap and nose tackle Kelly Gregg. The Ravens entered the day $1 million over the salary cap set by the new collective bargaining agreement.
Mason was reportedly informed by general manager Ozzie Newsome on Monday about the news. He spoke with WBAL last evening to react according to the Baltimore Sun’s Kevin Van Valkenburg.
“This is just another chip on my shoulder,” Mason said. “This is something else that fuels me and makes me try to be as productive on the field as I can, whether that be in Baltimore — and I hope it is — or somewhere else. [My return] is solely up to them. I love Baltimore. The city embraced me. The organization is great from top to bottom. My first thing would be: ‘Why not Baltimore?’ They’re primed to win a Super Bowl and I don’t want to go nowhere else but a place that is primed to contend for a Super Bowl.”
Mason could return to Baltimore if he was willing to take a pay cut. Last night, rumors around the interwebs were flying around reporting the Mason and the Ravens were working on a one year deal.
Here we go football fans , let the games begin……………
Just another of Harbaughs doghouse guys being cut cause he doesn’t like them. Heap and Mason. Heap was outspoken early on about Harbaugh and of course Mason has always been outspoken about the coaching staff.
So tell me now who is the starting tight end and who will be catching the balls that Mason caught? Boldin was barely thrown to cause Flacco doesn’t know how to throw past 7 yards.
Look, I’m a a big Ravens fan, love em, enjoy them but cannot stand Harbaugh. If you don’t kiss Harbaughs ass then your in his doghouse. Let me tell you, if he could Harbaugh would get rid of Lewis and Reed.
This team doesn’t want to play for Harbaugh except for the rookies and guys fighting for a job.
I’m looking at an 8-8 season right now and the Ravens getting their butts kicked against the Steelers.
