Wide receiver Calvin Ridley took a pay cut to stay with the Titans. That was reported over the weekend.<\/p>\n

But how much was unknown.<\/p>\n

Paul Kuharsky of paulkuharsky.com reports that Ridley\u2019s cap number will drop by $11 million<\/a> for 2026.<\/p>\n

The one-time second-team All-Pro was due a $19.24 million base salary and a $2 million roster bonus with a $26.45 salary cap hit. The Titans added incentives to the revised deal, allowing Ridley to recoup some of the lost money.<\/p>\n

Ridley signed a four-year deal in Tennessee before the start of the 2024 season. He played in every game that year and caught 64 passes for 1,017 yards and four touchdowns, but a fractured fibula ended his 2025 season after seven games. Ridley had 17 catches for 303 yards before the injury. <\/p>\n

The Titans now have Riley, Wan\u2019Dale Robinson, Elic Ayomanor, Chimere Dike, Mason Kinsey and Bryce Oliver in their receivers room. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wide receiver Calvin Ridley took a pay cut to stay with the Titans.
