Falcons fans can finally put the Calvin Ridley trade talk to rest as the former first-round pick was suspended for at least the 2022 season by the NFL for gambling on games last season.
Ridley was placed on the non-football injury list back in November, and allegedly was caught placing bets on NFL games later that month.
As painful as this is for a team that was already thin at receiver, Atlanta does get $11.1 million in cap relief as Ridley’s contract comes off the books this season, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
