The Tennessee Titans have finalized a restructured contract with wide receiver Calvin Ridley, ensuring the veteran pass catcher remains with the team through the 2026 season.
Ridley initially signed a four-year, $92 million contract with the Titans in March 2024, which included $50 million in guaranteed money. This restructuring allows the Titans to mitigate what would have been a $26.5 million hit on their salary cap while addressing a $2 million roster bonus due this week.
Injuries significantly impacted Ridley”s performance during the 2025 season. The 31-year-old receiver suffered a hamstring injury during a Week 6 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, which sidelined him for three games. After making his return in Week 11 against the Houston Texans, Ridley subsequently fractured his fibula, leading to an early end to his season. He concluded the year with 17 receptions for 303 yards over seven games.
Despite these setbacks, Ridley showcased his talent with a strong debut season for the Titans in 2024, recording 64 catches for 1,017 yards and leading the team in receiving.
Retaining Ridley provides the Titans with a reliable target as their offense seeks to improve following a challenging 2025 season. The team has also bolstered its receiving corps by signing wide receiver Wan”Dale Robinson to a four-year contract. Additionally, Ridley will reunite with offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, who previously coached him during his college days at the University of Alabama.
Before joining the Titans, Ridley had a successful career with the Atlanta Falcons and the Jacksonville Jaguars. As a former first-round draft pick, he earned second-team All-Pro honors in 2020 after amassing 1,374 receiving yards. While injuries hindered him last season, the Titans still regard Ridley as a vital veteran presence and a key element of their passing game when he is healthy.
