The Ravens have revamped their receiving corps during the off-season with the recruitment of Anquan Boldin from Arizona and free agent Donte' Stallworth.
Mason, 36, caught 73 passes for 1,028 yards last season and developed good chemistry with young quarterback Joe Flacco.

"I'm getting myself ready to play football and help the Ravens win," Mason, who is 14th on the NFL's all-time reception list with 863, told the Ravens' official website.
"But the first thing I am going to do is take my family on vacation."
