The New England Patriots didn’t win the Calvin Ridley sweepstakes, and they might not have even been the runner-up.
Ridley took his talents to Tennessee, where the Titans reportedly gave the star wide receiver a four-year, $92 million contract with $50 million guaranteed. Ridley admitted the “pretty good” money swayed him to Nashville, as did the opportunity to play alongside five-time Pro Bowl selection DeAndre Hopkins.
But in a perfect world, the 2018 first-round pick would not have found a new team in free agency.
“I really wanted to — honestly — be with the Jags,” Ridley told reporters last Friday, per a video shared by ESPN’s Turron Davenport.
