New Report Details When Titans Could Trade Calvin Ridley

The Tennessee Titans are still being asked about some of their top players following the Jeffery Simmons trade. 

Running back Tony Pollard has been a topic of discussion lately after his incredible 100-yard performances against the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals. 

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport assured Titans fans that a Pollard trade is unlikely. He reported that the team isn't interested in trading Pollard, but is actively listening for offers on receiver Calvin Ridley instead. 

Ridley was mentioned by ESPN's Jeremy Fowler as the next Titans player who could be on the move. He reported that the Titans are searching for a Day 3 pick for Ridley. 

Then, there was a new piece of information in the Ridley situation that came out over the weekend. The Ringer's Tom Pelissero shared when we could expect to see Ridley traded, if it happens. 

Pelissero believes that players like Ridley, Brian Thomas Jr. and Josh Downs could be traded before the Nov. 10 deadline on Tuesday. 

Things started off so well for Ridley here in Music City. He joined the team in the 2024 offseason during free agency. 

Even though the Titans' quarterback situation was less than ideal with Will Levis and Mason Rudolph both starting under center at different points that season, Ridley was still productive. 

He finished with 1,017 receiving yards and four touchdowns that season. 

While played well, the Titans struggled mightily as a whole. Tennessee ended that season at 3-14 and had the No. 1 overall pick. After one season with Levis as the full-time starter, the Titans wanted a change. 

They drafted Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Ward struggled out of the gate, and Ridley did too. 

He dealt with drop issues for the entire season before breaking his leg against the Houston Texans, which knocked him out for the second half of the 2025 season. 

After there was speculation that the Titans were going to move on from Ridley this offseason, he stayed with the team and came back on a restructured deal. 

His role has diminished with the Titans under this new regime. After being one of the top receivers in 2024-25, he is now mostly used as a backup off the bench. 

It's only natural that the Titans try to move on from Ridley at this point. He's hardly used on game days. When he is used, his role is nothing more than a backup. 

Whether the Titans can get a Day 3 pick for him or not has yet to be seen. It looks like we could see Ridley's time in Nashville come to a close in the near future.
