The Tennessee Titans made a big free-agent splash on Wednesday, signing Calvin Ridley to a four-year, $92 million contract that includes $50 million guaranteed. The move was a bit of a surprise, as reports suggested Ridley was either going to stay with the Jacksonville Jaguars or sign a deal with the New England Patriots. This acquisition has a domino “fantasy” effect for both the Titans and Jaguars.
Let’s start things off with Ridley’s new team, the Titans, who have also signed Tony Pollard to an offense that will have a very new look under new head coach Brian Callahan. Ridley joins an offense that already has DeAndre Hopkins, but that’s no reason to instantly reduce the value of either wideout. Remember, Callahan’s pass attack in Cincinnati was able to support two strong wideouts in Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins in 2022. The Bengals also threw the ball 63.5% of the time in 2023, which was the second-most in the league behind the Washington Commanders.
