Report: Ridley joining Titans on 4-year, $92M deal
The Tennessee Titans are signing former Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley to a four-year, $92-million contract that contains $50 million fully guaranteed, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
The New England Patriots and Jaguars were reportedly the top suitors for the star wide receiver.
Ridley's addition gives second-year quarterback Will Levis another top receiver alongside DeAndre Hopkins. The 29-year-old is the second skill-position free agent Tennessee recruited this week, joining former Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard.
Ridley caught 76 passes for 1,016 yards and eight touchdowns in his only season with the Jaguars last year. Jacksonville acquired him from the Atlanta Falcons in November 2022 while he was serving a suspension for violating the league's gambling policy.
The Falcons will receive a 2024 third-round pick from the Jaguars as part of the trade conditions. Jacksonville would've had to send a second-round selection if it re-signed the wideout before 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
