Ravens keep Mason
Free agent wide receiver Derrick Mason agreed to a two-year contract to remain with the Baltimore Ravens, the team announced. "We know exactly what we're getting with Derrick, and that's production," General Manager Ozzie Newsome said in a written statement released by the club. "Every Ravens fan knows what Derrick brings to this team. It's reliability, toughness, leadership, the fight to win and the want of the ball in the clutch times. He has a two-year history with Joe [Flacco, the team's quarterback] that says, 'We know how to produce together.' They are on the same page." Mason had 73 catches for 1,028 yards last season. The Ravens re-signed him even after trading for Arizona Cardinals wideout Anquan Boldin. "This is outstanding--just great news for the Ravens," Coach John Harbaugh said in a written statement. "Our coaches are happy. Derrick's teammates are happy, and you know Joe is smiling.
