The Tennessee Titans have officially retained wide receiver Calvin Ridley after he remained on the organization's roster past a critical 4 p.m. deadline today, Saturday, March 14, 2026, according to Tom Pelissero.
Ridley was scheduled to receive a $2 million roster bonus if he remained under contract by the Saturday afternoon cutoff. This financial trigger created a firm deadline for the franchise to decide on his future following a very active week in free agency. By keeping him on the roster, the Titans have committed to the veteran playmaker as a cornerstone of their offense for the 2026 season.
The move ensures that Ridley will be paired with newly-acquired wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson, who joined the team earlier this week. The addition of Robinson and the retention of Ridley signals an aggressive effort by the Titans' front office to surround their young core with proven receiving talent. Ridley’s presence provides veteran leadership for a unit that has seen significant turnover during the current league year.
