With the signing of Anquan Boldin this weekend, it seems pretty clear that the Ravens have no intention of signing wide receiver Derrick Mason back. Mason comtemplated retirement this time last season and came back and is probably doing the same thing this off season. Question is if Mason does come back where is he gonna go? Im sure the veteran is looking for a comfortable enviroment and somewhere he can win.
Could or should the Titans try to sign Mason back to a one year incentivized deal? Mason is still very productive for his age and I think could come in and take over the second or third spot for the Titans on the depth chart. He could mentor rookies like Kenny Britt and Lavelle Hawkins. I’m sure Vince Young wouldn’t mind having a tough veteran to go over the middle for a tough third down coversion. All in all this isn’t something the Titans would actually do but it actually makes a whole lot of sense on a team that could use some expierence at the wide receiver position.

get him!!! hes still good and will help britt!!!
Jeff Fisher doesn’t understand or trust the passing game, so for him this probably seems like a no-brainer. Mason is past his prime and doesn’t seem the least bit interested in “mentoring” anyone….so of course Fisher wants him on the roster. Hell, he should be paid double what he’s worth just because he’s a “veteran.” If Mason can somehow convince Fisher that he’s recently had a hip replacement, then he’ll probably end up first string. I love my Titans, but our ship’s captain makes some of the worst off-season personnel decisions every year. Even without the salary cap, Fisher will make sure that the Titans have more than enough money in the bank come fall. Jeff Fisher is a great CPA, but a lousy judge of talent (oh and since I know that everyone will point out Chris Johnson…Felix Jones was the Titans #1 RB choice in the draft, so Fisher & Co. lucked out).
