Report: Eagles were close to completing Calvin Ridley trade

Hey, remember the news about Calvin Ridley being suspended for at least the 2022 season due to betting on Atlanta Falcons games? Kind of feels like forever ago when you consider how it was overshadowed by major developments such as Aaron Rodgers returning to the Green Bay Packers, Russell Wilson being traded to the Denver Broncos, Carson Wentz returning to the NFC East, etc.

But the Ridley news is worth revisiting in the context of the Philadelphia Eagles. As it turns out, the Birds were actually close to trading for him at one point this offseason.
