The Tennessee Titans have bolstered their offensive lineup in NFL free agency, securing wide receiver Calvin Ridley from the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Ridley’s multi-year deal with the AFC South rival Titans is reportedly worth $92 million over four years, with $50 million fully guaranteed.

This contract positions Ridley as the ninth-highest-paid wide receiver in the league based on average annual value.

In addition to Ridley, the Titans had previously acquired running back Tony Pollard from the Dallas Cowboys in free agency, filling the void left by Derrick Henry’s departure to the Baltimore Ravens.

With Ridley’s addition, Tennessee solidifies its receiving corps, providing quarterback Will Levis with a top-tier target as he enters his second professional season.

At 29 years old, Calvin Ridley enters the Tennessee Titans lineup fresh from his second 1,000-yard season in his five-year career.

Despite missing the entire 2022 season due to an NFL suspension for betting on games, the former first-round pick showcased his skills with 76 receptions, 1,016 yards, and eight touchdowns across 17 games in 2023.

After being traded from the Atlanta Falcons to the Jacksonville Jaguars during the 2022 season in exchange for draft picks, Ridley spent a season with the Jaguars before joining the Titans.

In Tennessee, Ridley will join a formidable group of pass-catchers, including three-time All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, former first-round pick Treylon Burks, and tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo.

With Ridley’s acquisition, the Titans now boast a strong receiving corps. Meanwhile, notable wideouts like Mike Williams and Marquise Brown remain available on the free-agent market.
