From the episode

Calvin Ridley at $17 million, a restructure. You know, the wide receiver room was bare enough last year... You pay him to stick around because you don't want to make another hole. You already have a lot of things to patch.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalValue

Ridley restructured at $17M; functional vet filler while Tate develops.

Restructured at $17 million per year; the source notes Ridley is 32 years old and not the player he was when entering the league, but from the Titans' perspective, he's a functional veteran receiver in an expensive market where really good receivers don't shake loose. The Titans brought him in to avoid creating another hole in an already thin receiving corps, though the source doesn't love the deal and sees it as a placeholder while Tate develops as the future number one.
