Who Should I Start? Calvin Ridley or Khalil Shakir

The Tennessee Titans and wide receiver Calvin Ridley have agreed to a restructured deal that will keep the veteran in Nashville for the 2026 season, according to Tom Pelissero. Ridley signed a top-of-the-market four-year deal in 2024, but has yet to make a meaningful impact in Tennessee, dealing with poor quarterback play over parts of the past two seasons and missing ten games to injury in 2025. Perhaps no offense in the league looks different than the Titans since the signing of that deal, with three of the team's four leading receivers in 2025 being rookies and the team bringing in a new head coach and offensive coordinator to guide Cam Ward in 2026. The new regime recently added Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency, a move likely to push the 31-year-old Ridley into more of a situational role as Chimere Dike, Elic Ayomanor, and tight end Gunnar Helm all look to take a year-two leap.
