Conflicting Reports Cloud Calvin Ridley’s Status as Trade Deadline Approaches

Ridley’s price tag, hamstring status, plus the ticking deadline create real hurdles for teams calling the Titans.

Overview

  • NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Tennessee has fielded calls and that Ridley has emerged as a potential target for receiver‑needy contenders.
  • ESPN’s Turron Davenport says multiple team sources insist the Titans are not shopping Ridley, though they have taken inquiries.
  • Pro Football Talk reports the Titans are trying to find a trade partner before today’s 4 p.m. ET deadline, a claim that remains disputed by team‑aligned reporting.
  • Ridley has 16 catches for 290 yards and no touchdowns in six games and has been out since Week 6 with a hamstring injury.
  • A four‑year, $92 million contract with a reported $22.49 million 2025 base salary presents cap and dead‑money complications that could require salary retention by Tennessee.
