Nathan Nau Tomlinson Signs with the Jets
March 15th, 2010 Nathan Nau Jets agreed to terms with RB LaDainian Tomlinson on a two-year, $5.2 million contract. Another $500,000 is available via incentives.

Ravens Sign Derrick Mason
March 11th, 2010 Nathan Nau The Baltimore Ravens have signed WR Derrick Mason to a two-year, $8 million contract, including $3.5 million in the first year. Astutely, GM Ozzie Newsome didn’t settle after acquiring Anquan Boldin. Mason is 36 now, but remains a highly effective possession threat, has missed just one game since 2002, and upped both his YPC average (13.0 to 14.1) and TDs (5 to 7) last season, indicating his body isn’t letting him down yet. While his numbers are likely to drop with Boldin as the Ravens’ new clear-cut No. 1 wideout, Mason’s return is exceptional news for Baltimore’s offense.

Fellow trade candidate Brandon Marshall is roughly four years younger, but presents far more knucklehead factor, would ask for more money, and costs a first-round pick.
