Why the Titans shouldn’t hand Calvin Ridley a starting role
The Tennessee Titans have made significant changes to their wide receiver lineup, including the addition of Carnell Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson. Calvin Ridley, who struggled last season, is returning but should not automatically be given a starting role. The team should allow competition for the position, particularly with promising rookie Chimere Dike also in the mix.
- ▪The Titans drafted Carnell Tate at No. 4 overall and signed Wan'Dale Robinson to a $70 million contract.
- ▪Calvin Ridley took a pay cut to return to the Titans after a disappointing 2025 season.
- ▪Chimere Dike, who made the Pro Bowl as a rookie, is also competing for the receiver position.
