At the time the Jaguars seemed to be buying low on Ridley, who was serving a year-long suspension for betting on NFL games. The trade compensation was conditional and ultimately Jacksonville sent the 79th overall pick of the 2024 draft to the Falcons for Ridley. What the Jaguars got for that was a modest 1,016 yards in one 9-8 season with Ridley, who left for Tennessee as a free agent.

Ridley trade bust: 1,016 yards in one season, then left for Tennessee.

Ridley was acquired by the Jaguars in a conditional trade (79th overall pick in 2024 draft) while serving a year-long suspension for betting on NFL games. The Jaguars were attempting to buy low on Ridley, but the return was modest: 1,016 yards in one 9-8 season before Ridley left for Tennessee as a free agent. The trade failed to provide meaningful value or playoff success.
