Derrick Mason Decides to End Short Retirement


Brett Favre isn't the only guy in the news these days that can't make up his mind on whether to retire or not. Derrick Mason coudn't even make it through training camp before deciding to come out of retirement.

This is great news for the Ravens considering the wide receiver position is probably the weakest part of this team.

Since Derrick Mason joined the Ravens in 2005, the offense has gradually gotten better and better. We all know how good the defense has always been.

After Mason decided to retire on July 13, the Ravens immediately went from AFC North favorites to Wild Card hopefuls. Now that Mason is returning, you can't count this team out from making a Super Bowl run. They've got possibly one of the best defenses in the NFL and an offense that shouldn't be taken lightly either.

Joe Flacco proved last year that he's one of the up and coming quarterbacks in the league. Now that a veteran like Mason is returning, there's no telling where the Ravens may go in 2009.

Mason's Stats Since Joining the Ravens

2005 86 Rec, 1073 yards, 3 TD
2006
68 Rec, 750 yards, 2 TD
2007 103 Rec, 1087 yards, 5 TD
2008 80 Rec, 1037 yards, 5 TD
