Punchy Titan News: Ridley's Team Announces Victory in Debuting After Long-Running Debate
NASHVILLE, Tenn.

Ridley's season ended with a broken leg , and he had 17 catches for 303 yards. Ridley turns 32 in December. He has just four combined touchdown catches in two seasons with the Titans.
The Titans cleared some salary cap space Friday releasing cornerback L'Jarius Sneed . NFL Network reported that Ridley was due a $2 million bonus if he was still on the Tennessee roster at 4 p. m.
EDT Saturday. Ridley was Tennessee's highest-paid player due to count $26. 4 million against the cap with a cap hit of $13 million if released, according to Spotrac.
