With only 16 days left before veterans have to report to training camp. Wide Reciever Derrick Mason announced his retirement from the NFL on Monday.
The abrupt decision leaves the Baltimore Ravens with a wide reciever void as QB Joe Flacco will inherit top recievers Marcus Clayton and Demetrius Williams. Not to mention third-string Marcus Smith to join the offensive bunch.
Mason was entering his final year of his five-year, $20 million contract and was seeking an extension. A new contract extension was set to take place soon but never happened.
Now the Ravens are trying to settle a contract with franshise tagged Linebacker Terrell Suggs. Baltimore has already lost a huge ordeal with Defensive Coordinator Rex Ryan and Linebacker Bart Scott that are now with the New York Jets.
Will the Ravens have a prosperous season without their top wide reciever? Or will Ravenstown not see a light on the AFC North Championship or Superbowl?
