Ridley Announces Titans' Deal on Security; Expect 'Titans vs. Titans' Again This Season

Calvin Ridley will stay with the Tennessee Titans on a restructured contract, a source told The Tennessean on March 14. NFL Network first reported the revised deal. Ridley signed with the Titans in 2024 on a four-year, $92 million contract that extended through 2027.

The Titans could have saved more than $12 million against the salary cap for 2026 by releasing Ridley, but have opted instead to keep Ridley in Nashville for another season. Across two seasons with the Titans, Ridley caught 81 passes for 1,320 yards and four touchdowns in 24 games. An October leg injury ended Ridley's 2025 season after just seven games.

After putting up 1,000 yards in his debut season in Nashville with Will Levis and Mason Rudolph throwing him the ball, Ridley stumbled to a slow start in 2025, catching only 17 passes with no touchdowns in seven games as persistent drops limited his production. Ridley, 31, was the 19th-highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL by average annual value and tied for 11th among receivers in total contract value. He came to the Titans as one of the splash signings made by former GM Ran Carthon ahead of the 2024 season.

Ridley led the Titans in catches (64) and receiving yards (1,017) in 2024. He's one of only seven wide receivers to have surpassed 1,000 yards in a season while wearing a Titans uniform, joining Derrick Mason, Drew Bennett, Nate Washington, Kendall Wright, A. J.
