McGahee released by Ravens along with 3 others.

Re: McGahee released

Ravens informed WR Derrick Mason, TE Todd Heap, RB Willis McGahee, and NT Kelly Gregg of their release. Combined, the moves save $18.6 million in base salary, and all four cuts clear significant room under the salary cap. The flurry of salary slashes makes us wonder if Baltimore is gearing up for a run at free agent Nnamdi Asomugha, who could not only shore up the Ravens' secondary, but serve as an excellent mentor to first-round pick Jimmy Smith. Mason, 37, caught 61 passes for 802 yards and seven touchdowns last season. He still has value as a possession-slot type receiver, but the Ravens already had too many of those.

:rant:
I just drafted Mason in SUDFFL damn it! :banghead:
 
All of them will have a job pretty quick, but at least the Ravens had the stones (and decency) to strike fast.

I don't think he's just done with the Ravens--he could very well be done, period. Didn't he almost retire last year anyway?

Now that you mention it, he did threaten it. But I thought it was to get better money. But you may be right.

Still, here would be a great vet for some needy Wr teams....like Cleveland or St. Louis.
 
Supposedly Mason, McGahee, and Gregg are in talks to come back in a couple days with cheaper contracts. Heap apparently got pretty ****ed and probably wont return to the team.
 
(KFFL) Baltimore Ravens WR Derrick Mason, who is expected to be released later this week, said he is willing to return to the Ravens if they want him back. "That's all I can say," Mason said. Mason, 37, doesn't have any plans to retire and other teams could be an opportunity. If he returns to the Ravens, it likely would have to be for less than the $3.5 million he was scheduled to make this year under the terms of his previous contract.
