One of the first decisions the Tennessee Titans are going to have to make about their current roster is whether or not to cut Calvin Ridley. He has a cap number of just over $26 million for 2026. It is currently the biggest number on their roster. Cutting him would save them around $13 million.<\/p>\n
This is an interesting decision for Mike Borgonzi. On one hand, it doesn\u2019t make sense to keep him for that number. Ridley is coming off a major injury. His production when he has been on the field has been pretty good, but not enough to justify the money they owe him for 2026.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, their receiver room is pretty bare, and Ridley does have the upside to be a number one receiver. They aren\u2019t going to find a receiver on the market with Ridley\u2019s upside for a cheaper number. He also has familiarity with Brian Daboll from their time together at the University of Alabama.<\/p>\n
There is also the fact that the Titans are going to have over $100 million in cap space. They aren\u2019t going to need the savings.<\/p>\n
For the purposes of this exercise, let\u2019s assume that Ridley is unwilling to take a pay cut. Would you bring Ridley back at that number, or would you cut him?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the first decisions the Tennessee Titans are going to have to make about their current roster…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":733780,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2061],"tags":[7,6,526,394,89925,2415,2416,2411,527],"class_list":{"0":"post-733779","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennessee-titans","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-nfl","10":"tag-tennessee","11":"tag-tennessee-titans","12":"tag-tennessee-titans-discussion","13":"tag-tennessee-titans-depth-chart","14":"tag-tennessee-titans-roster","15":"tag-tennesseetitans","16":"tag-titans"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116024557522112236","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/733779","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=733779"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/733779\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/733780"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=733779"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=733779"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=733779"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
