The Ravens announced on Friday that they have signed tight end/fullback Ben Mason to a reserve/future deal.
Baltimore reunites with the former Michigan Wolverine after the two sides parted ways before the start of the 2021 season. The Ravens selected Mason with the No. 184 pick in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, but after failing to make the initial 53-man roster, Mason opted to sign to the New England Patriots practice squad instead of Baltimore’s.
When the Ravens used their last pick in the draft on Mason — a selection that has received a fair deal of scrutiny — many viewed him as the eventual replacement for Pro Bowl fullback Patrick Ricard.
