At age 30, he isn&#8217;t the most exceptional route-runner, but he has a ton of potential to turn into a formidable offensive weapon for a contender this season. However, he won&#8217;t be getting most of the success anymore in Tennessee, even though <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/05\/18\/first-look-cam-ward-at-nflpa-rookie-premiere\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">rookie Cam Ward<\/a> favors Ridley when the receiver is healthy.<\/p>\n<p>Originally selected in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.profootballrumors.com\/2025\/10\/steelers-interested-in-trading-for-wrs-jakobi-meyers-calvin-ridley\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">former Alabama product is catching the attention of the Pittsburgh Steelers.<\/a> They shouldn&#8217;t be the only team that might be waiting in the wings for Ridley to become available, as several suitors could become interested in the former Atlanta Falcon. Ridley was once a productive wideout in the league, notching back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, and ever since coming to the Titans, he hasn&#8217;t been the most useful receiver. The only thing stopping him from moving on is his current four-year, $92 million deal he signed a couple of years ago and still has two seasons left on the contract.<\/p>\n<h2>Breaking: Top Titans Trade Candidate Calvin Ridley Could Generating Interest &#8211; 3 Suitors Emerge<\/h2>\n<p>After hauling in just 16 receptions for 290 yards, he should be able to get some interest. The Titans could rework his contract to make the trade easier, which they probably should. This would get the ball moving for Tennessee to embrace the rebuild for Ward and its future offense. These three suitors could bite.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_251372\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-251372\" style=\"width: 822px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-251372\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/george-pickens-noncommittal-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"george pickens noncommittal\" width=\"822\" height=\"548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/george-pickens-noncommittal-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/george-pickens-noncommittal-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/george-pickens-noncommittal-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/george-pickens-noncommittal-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/george-pickens-noncommittal-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/george-pickens-noncommittal-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/george-pickens-noncommittal.jpg 1968w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 822px) 100vw, 822px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-251372\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Main Photo: Robert Deutsch-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>1. Dallas Cowboys<\/h3>\n<p>The Dallas Cowboys have one of the hottest offenses in the league, so why not get Ridley in on the fun behind CeeDee Lamb and<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/05\/10\/george-pickens-is-ready-to-turn-the-page-in-dallas\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"> George Pickens<\/a>? The main focus for the Cowboys this trade deadline is defense, but if they don&#8217;t wind up with an addition on that end of the ball, they should at least trade for another receiver. Jalen Tolbert has been declining in this Cowboys receiver unit, so a swap would make sense here since Dallas wants to win a Super Bowl sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_246185\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-246185\" style=\"width: 815px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-246185\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/09\/USATSI_25121621_168402708_lowres-300x197.jpg\" alt=\"DaRon Bland, cornerback, Dallas Cowboys\" width=\"815\" height=\"535\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/09\/USATSI_25121621_168402708_lowres-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/09\/USATSI_25121621_168402708_lowres-1024x671.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/09\/USATSI_25121621_168402708_lowres-768x504.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/09\/USATSI_25121621_168402708_lowres-1536x1007.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/09\/USATSI_25121621_168402708_lowres.jpg 1963w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 815px) 100vw, 815px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-246185\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jan 5, 2025; Arlington, Texas, USA; Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (17) makes the game-winning touchdown catch over Dallas Cowboys cornerback DaRon Bland (26) during the fourth quarter at AT&amp;T Stadium.

A trade for Ridley only makes sense for the Commanders if they can stay healthy, and that starts with Jayden Daniels, who will miss his third game this season. If Marcus Mariota pulls off a miracle against the Chiefs, they could look into being buyers at the trade deadline and snag Ridley.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_252197\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-252197\" style=\"width: 821px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-252197\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27373351-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"courtland sutton week 8 wide receiver rankings\" width=\"821\" height=\"547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27373351-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27373351-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27373351-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27373351-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27373351-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27373351-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27373351-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 821px) 100vw, 821px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-252197\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oct 19, 2025; Denver, Colorado, USA; Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (14) reacts after a play in the second quarter against the New York Giants at Empower Field at Mile High.

Head Coach Sean Payton and quarterback Bo Nix are centered in the best environment ever, and they can&#8217;t afford to get complacent here. After trading DeVaughn Vele a few weeks ago, they could get a low-stakes receiver like Ridley, who could fit in this offense that helps Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the Titans likely tanking this 2025 season, there are several possible trade candidates, but this athlete could be on the move soon. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4795,"featured_media":252285,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[36,19,15,6431,11,8896],"tags":[3331,5801,3588,7422,7305,9146,7700,4687,8996],"class_list":["post-252282","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl-news","category-cowboys","category-broncos","category-nfl-teams","category-titans","category-washington-commanders","tag-calvin-ridley","tag-ceedee-lamb","tag-courtland-sutton","tag-dallas-cowboys-news","tag-denver-broncos-news","tag-george-pickens","tag-tennessee-titans-news","tag-terry-mclaurin","tag-washington-commanders-news"],"modified_by":"Anthony Palacios","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252282","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4795"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=252282"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252282\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":252295,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252282\/revisions\/252295"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/252285"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=252282"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=252282"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=252282"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
