Report: Alabama Product Calvin Ridley Signs With Titans

The 29-year-old signed a 4-year deal after spending one season in Jacksonville.

Former Alabama wide receiver Calvin Ridley has found a new home, singing a 4-year deal with the Tennessee Titans in free agency, per a report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The deal is worth $92 million overall, including $50 million guaranteed for the 29-year-old, who was drafted into the NFL back in 2018.

Ridley spent last season with the Jacksonville Jaguars, amassing over 1,000 yards on 76 catches and scoring eight touchdowns in his lone season in Florida. Last season was Ridley's first season back in the NFL since serving a 1-year suspension for gambling, which kept him out for the entirety of the 2022 NFL season.

Ridley started his career in Atlanta, the franchise that drafted him in the first round back in 2018. He dealt with various injuries while with the Falcons, but got to play alongside another former Alabama wideout in Julio Jones and had plenty of success in the early portion of his career. 

Though Ridley is already 29, he's only played five full seasons in the NFL, likely one of the reasons for the lengthy deal he will be signing with Tennessee. The Titans are going through a rebuild, having just lost franchise cornerstone Derrick Henry to the Baltimore Ravens in free agency, and ushering in a new quarterback in Will Levis last season as a rookie. 

Ridley marks the second former Alabama wideout to change locations this NFL offseason, joining his former Alabama teammate Jerry Jeudy, who was traded from the Denver Broncos to the Cleveland Browns.
