Derrick Mason Signs With The NY Jets

By Tyson Rauch Posted On August 6, 2011

On Saturday wide receiver Derrick Mason announced that he will be signing with the New York Jets. Mason, 37, will more than likely fill the slot position taking over for the released Jerricho Cotchery. Terms of the deal have not been disclosed.

Mason offered the following tweets:

@deemason85: Jet fuel is full time to fly!

@deemason85: Going from one young gun to another!! Hahahahahaha

I think this is a solid signing by the Jets as Mason could be considered an upgrade over the departed Cotchery. Only time will tell but the wide receiving group of Holmes, Burress, and Mason could do some damage this year.

The Jets dropped to 3-8 in falling to the Colts 28-27 at home. The offense found some rhythm after a slow start but the defense couldn't stop Anthony Richardson from torching the secondary time and again.
