From the article

The Titans increased Calvin Ridley's 2027 cap charge when they restructured his contract this past offseason. Borgonzi did that by design. There's essentially no scenario whatsoever where Ridley is on the team next season. The veteran wideout has been an afterthought on offense this campaign. Ridley is struggling with drops and could fall behind Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor on the depth chart after Week 8.

Ridley's role collapsing; Titans restructured contract to facilitate 2027 release.

The Titans restructured Ridley's contract to increase his 2027 cap charge to $29.7 million by design, signaling an imminent release. Ridley has been an afterthought on offense this season, struggling with drops and facing depth chart competition from Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor after Week 8. Releasing him will clear $22.2 million in cap space with only $7.5 million in dead-cap charge, indicating the team views his departure as inevitable.
