They finished with a 3-14 record and landed the fourth pick in this coming draft.<\/p>\n<p>The offense was one of the worst in the league, ranking 31st in yards per game and 30th in points.<\/p>\n<p>But when healthy, Ridley is one of the more productive wide receivers in the game. He racked up back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons in 2023 and \u201924, the latter of which came with the Titans. <\/p>\n<p>The Titans will have plenty of new faces on the sidelines this season, with Robert Saleh taking over as head coach and Brian Daboll coming in as the offensive coordinator.<\/p>\n<p><img style=\"aspect-ratio:1.49926794;display:block\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-modal-image=\"38780062\" width=\"885\" height=\"590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/GettyImages-2237890227.jpg\" alt=\"Calvin Ridley #0 of the Tennessee Titans warms up against the Houston Texans prior to the game at NRG Stadium on September 28, 2025 in Houston, Texas. \" class=\"wp-image-38780062\"  \/>Calvin Ridley of the Tennessee Titans warms up against the Houston Texans prior to the game at NRG Stadium on September 28, 2025 in Houston, Texas.
