08:06 AM ET 07.26 | Football may be back, but a good many players will not be in their adopted NFL hometowns. The celebration of the NFL's four-month lockout ending turned into disbelief when the Ravens cut four players, including their top two receivers of all time. According to league sources, the Ravens informed tight end Todd Heap, wide receiver Derrick Mason, nose tackle Kelly Gregg and running back Willis McGahee that they will be released only a few hours after the NFL and its players agreed on a new 10-year collective bargaining agreement Monday. ... While some Ravens fans wonder whether Monday represents an end of an era, there is a possibility that the Ravens will try to re-sign Heap, Mason and Gregg to less expensive contracts as the team seeks to make the playoffs for a fourth straight season.

Gonna be a whole lot of this the next few days...
Too bad the Cowboys aren't walking from one non-franchise receiver in particular... I'd take Mason over ol' mail-order Casanova.

The Ravens are cutting receivers, but not the two that cost them a shot at the Superbowl.

I'm guessing that this is a procedural move, done with the full understanding of the players and their agents. They'll be in training camp with new contracts this week.

Don't know the Ravens' cap situation but I know the Cowboys are about to let Columbo and Barber hit the street to get under the $120M...
