JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA – NOVEMBER 12: Calvin Ridley #0 of the Jacksonville Jaguars is introduced against the San Francisco 49ers during the game at EverBank Field on November 12, 2023 in Jacksonville, Florida. 
The Tennessee Titans just pulled off the biggest surprise of 2024 NFL free agency.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Titans have signed ex-Jacksonville Jaguars superstar wide receiver Calvin Riddley to a mammoth four-year contract worth $92 million, with $50 million of it coming in guaranteed money.

The Titans aren’t usually big-time spenders in free agent, but GM Ran Carthon and company swooped in out of nowhere and landed the best available WR on the open market. Indeed, it’s a stunner that nobody had on their bingo cards.

Ridley joins a Titans offense led by second-year QB Will Levis, All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and two-time 1,000-yard rusher Tony Pollard, whom Tennessee also landed in free agency on a $24 million pact.

Ridley served a season-long suspension in 2022 for violating the NFL’s policy on gambling. Ahead of the trade deadline, the Atlanta Falcons traded Ridley to the Jaguars.

The 29-year-old proved to be a nice fit in Jacksonville’s offense, hauling in 76 receptions for 1,016 yards and eight touchdowns. Had the Jaguars re-signed Ridley, they would have owed Atlanta a second-round pick as part of the trade. Instead, their 2024 third-rounder (No. 79 overall) will go to the Falcons.

For his career, the 2018 first-round pick has 324 receptions for 4,358 yards and 36 touchdowns. Ridley’s best season came in 2020, when he caught 90 passes for 1,374 yards and nine touchdowns.
