Former Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Derrick Mason has agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the New York Jets, Aaron Wilson of Scout.com report. Mason replaces Jerricho Cotchery, who was released by the Jets after he asked for a trade late last season. Both Cotchery and Mason played for the Titans with the late Steve McNair. The Titans and Ravens were also among the teams interested in Mason.
Wilson also reports that four teams are interested in Cotchery, including the Steelers and Ravens. Cotchery will meet with the Steelers and take a physical with them on Sunday. That's bad news for the Ravens, who badly need a wide receiver. If Cotchery joins the Steelers, the Ravens may be forced to re-sign T.J. Houshmanzadeh.If I had to take two other guesses, I'd say the Titans and Cowboys are also interested in Cotchery.
Mason, 37, should have a bigger fantasy impact and more snaps than his fellow Jet Plaxico Burress. That is, until Burress gets a feeling for things. The Jets and Ravens have both greatly worsened as far as their receiver situations go this off-season. Maybe the Ravens would consider bringing back Mark Clayton, who played well in St. Louis before he went down.
