Top 5 Landing Spots for Titans WR Before New York Jets Deadline


Calvin Ridley was a bright spot for the Tennessee Titans last season, posting 1,017 yards and eight touchdowns on 120 catches. However, 2025 has seen a collapse in his form.

He still has no touchdowns in six games, not helped by rookie QB Cam Ward's struggles to get the ball downfield. Previous head coach Brian Callahan has been fired after a dismal 1-5 start and an overall record of 4-19, while his teammate Tyler Lockett was recently released.

And the trade rumors have begun, with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills among those said to be interested. But which teams really make the most sense?

The loss of Tyreek Hill to a career-changing ACL tear represents a massive blow to the Miami Dolphins, who are in turmoil themselves. Jaylen Waddle has shown he can handle the load at times, but even he can only do so much.

Enter Ridley, whose three thousand yards already mark him as a better WR2 than sophomore Malik Washington.

4) Commanders of Washington

The Washington Chiefs are set to welcome Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel back from injury when they visit the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football. However, their offense could use another playmaker while “Hail Maryland” hero Noah Brown is out.

The trade of Calvin Rldley will give the team another outside dominator next to McLaurin, while Samuel is again the “Swiss Army Knife”.

3) Pittsburgh Steelers

DK Metcalf has proven to be a godsend for the Pittsburgh Steelers, hitting for 400 yards and scoring four touchdowns on 22 catches through 6 games. However, depth is lacking behind him and Calvin Austin.

Roman Wilson has yet to find his form due to injuries. Scotty Miller, Ben Skorowek and rookie Ke'Shawn Williams haven't contributed much. That leaves room for another playmaker, and Ridley may be the man to fill that void.

2) New York Giants

The New York Giants have some intriguing offensive pieces in Jaxson Dart, Tyrone Tracy, Cam Skattebo and Theo Johnson. Too bad they don't have Malik Nabers, who is out for the year with a torn ACL, which will hamper his aerial game.

If they want to contend, they need a proven mil, which is Calvin Ridley.

1) New York Jets

Speaking of New York teams, the winless Jets are in desperation mode. And one person perfectly encapsulates the inequality of their situation.

Garrett Wilson he's been a constant bully on the field because opposing secondaries know he's the only deep threat the team has. Now he needs help in the backfield, and Ridley should provide it.
