Derrick Mason headed to Philly for Lito?

Rumors are blowing out of Charm city up 95 North saying John Harbaugh is intrested in the services of an old friend. It seems the Ravens would like to place Lito Sheppard opposite Chris McCalister and in return are offering the 12 season veteran wide receiver Derrick Mason in return. Mason a 5' 10", 192 lb receiver was a two time pro bowler {2000,2003}. At the age of 34 it would appear that the Ravens are looking to try newer receivers and compliment their aging defense. The 2007 season was productive for Mason as he had 103 rec. for 1087 yards and 5 TDs. If the Eagles pull this trade off, the Birds will have their offensive weapons fully loaded and a collective sigh of relief will be let out by all Philly fans!

Do you have a source? Where are you hearing this rumor?

even if this rumor is true, eagles fans would not like getting a guy whose career is just about over, for lito

If this is true, and I doubt that it is, it would be a steal for Baltimore.

This would be the single stupidest move ever. If this happens, Reid should have his hoo-hoo spanked

this guy is a buncha bs, he just joined yesterday with a bogus story with no source

i'd rather see if we could lure Jerry Rice out of retirement than trade for Mason. let's trade a 27 year old CB who has plenty of years left in him for a 34 year old WR, who has 2 seasons left in him.

yeah, this makes absolutely no sense.

terrible trade.

the dumbest thing ive ever heard. Things like this is why people on this site get no repect

thats bull cause noone would trade a young probowl corner
for a 12 year vet that would probaly retire next season

No. Mason would have been a nice add 5 years ago, but he's nearly done. Lito's worth much more, even if he's just as part of a new 3-headed monster CB corps.

i would trade reggie brown and jason avant for mason

Who would trade a top flight corner,for a 34 year wr--no leggggs,who is coming up with mess!!!!!

won't happen the Eagles FO would not do this it is corprate suicide.

HELL NO>>>>>>>

F**K NO this aint happinin
they got to be stupid as hell to do that

The Eagles would have to be stupid to make that trade. Our CB - a 6 year vet, who is currently pro-bowl caliber (when healthy!), for a 12 year vet WR that ain't real tall and USED to be a pro-bowler.....5 years ago. This is silly.

I would starve myself outside of the nova care complex if this happend...

LMAO.

This trade is not going to happen. If the Ravens got Lito for that price it's the steal of the century. Plus the Eagles wan't a big target in the red zone and that isn't Mason.

I heard about this trade talk for Lito on WBAL but the Ravens were also offering a late round draft pick in 09. I am a Derrick Mason fan but his better days are behind him and now that McNair is gone Kyle won't be able to run the offese as effectively. I'm a Ravens die hard fan so I'll welcome Lito to play opposite Chris. I'm new to the yard I didn't think that this news was already on blogging spaces like yardbarker. Well sorry Eagles fans if you lose Lito but he's coming to a better home. Lets Go Ravens!!!!!!!!!

That would be Ravens 1 Eagles 0....Total of players recieved in this trade...You would be better off trading with the Jaguars...Picks for the future...Or picks to deal for a wr you can use....

Whats next the Engram for Lito trade....

This rumor might be true a friend of mine who lives in baltimore said he heard it on a radio show . I think its a terrible trade for the eagles. Just another #2

dumb

INSANE...if this happens ill surely sell more heroin to andy reids kids...
