Calvin Ridley adjusts role with Titans after significant pay cut

Summary

Calvin Ridley remains with the Tennessee Titans after taking an $8.75 million pay cut for the 2026 season. The veteran receiver's salary is now $13 million, most of which is guaranteed, and analysts see potential in his new role under offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. Ridley's performance has fluctuated, highlighted by a 1,000-yard season in 2024 but limited action due to injury in 2025. With the addition of new receivers, Ridley is expected to have a lesser focal role, which could benefit his productivity. Predictions suggest he may achieve around 60 catches and 750 yards this season.
