Overview

  • ESPN and NFL Network reported Saturday that the reworked contract keeps Ridley on the Titans’ 2026 roster, with exact terms not disclosed.
  • The decision addresses a projected cap charge of about $26.5 million and followed a $2 million roster-bonus deadline.
  • The Titans chose a restructure over releasing Ridley, a move that could have saved more than $12 million against the 2026 cap.
  • Ridley’s 2025 season was limited to seven games due to a hamstring issue and a broken fibula, producing 17 catches for 303 yards and no touchdowns after a 1,017-yard 2024 campaign.
  • Ridley returns to an offense now led by coordinator Brian Daboll and bolstered by free-agent receiver Wan’Dale Robinson, giving Tennessee added roster flexibility this offseason.
