NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans<\/a> and wide receiver Calvin Ridley<\/a> have agreed to a restructured contract, a source confirmed to ESPN, ensuring he remains with the team for the 2026 season.<\/p>\n

The move was prompted by a $2 million roster bonus due Saturday.<\/p>\n

Ridley signed a four-year, $92 million contract with the Titans in March 2024 that included $50 million in guaranteed money. This restructuring addresses what would have been a $26.5 million salary cap hit and keeps the wide receiver in Tennessee.<\/p>\n

Ridley, 31, suffered a hamstring injury in the second quarter of the Titans’ Week 6 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> and missed the next three games. He returned in Week 11 against the Houston Texans<\/a> but suffered a broken fibula and missed the rest of the season.<\/p>\n

He finished with 17 receptions for 303 yards in seven games last season. He posted 1,017 yards on 64 catches in his first season with Tennessee.<\/p>\n

Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi said at the scouting combine that Ridley’s rehab process has been going great.<\/p>\n

Keeping Ridley in the fold allows him to pair with free agent wideout Wan’Dale Robinson<\/a>, who signed a four-year, $78 million contract with the Titans earlier this week. Ridley is also reunited with offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, whom he played for in his final season at Alabama<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Turron DavenportMar 14, 2026, 02:30 PM ET CloseTurron Davenport covers the Tennessee Titans for ESPN since 2018.
