The Atlanta Falcons received their first major surprise of the offseason with the NFL announcing the year-long suspension of WR Calvin Ridley on Monday afternoon. Obviously, this move has major implications for Atlanta, but also for the rest of the league. Ridley was expected to be one of the top receivers available, and his absence will shake things up for the rest of the free agent class.
In terms of the future, what we do know is that Ridley is not going to be playing in the NFL in 2022—assuming any appeal is denied.
