Aaron Wilson of "The Carroll County Times", who spoke to Derrick Mason's agent at the Senior Bowl, says "the two-time Pro Bowl selection is expected to try to work something out to remain in Baltimore."
Lamont Smith, Mason's representative, told Wilson that he expects to meet with Ravens General Manager Ozzie Newsome in the near future.
This meeting likely puts to rest the idea that Derrick Mason will retire; however, as everyone saw last summer, the wide receiver has a tendency to second-guess his decisions. In addition, his wavering on retirement showed just days after the Ravens' postseason loss to the Colts. He said "I'm done," in a press conference, then reversed that statement later in the same presser, saying he was "60-40" to retire.
Mason, who just turned 36, will likely be a number two or three receiver if he returns to Baltimore for the 2010 season.
