Titans' Calvin Ridley trade rumors are a big deal for NFL playoff picture

There are plenty of contending teams that could use another wide receiver.

The Tennessee Titans have one available: Calvin Ridley.

Pro Football Talk reports that the Titans "are trying to do a deal for Ridley" before the NFL's 4 p.m. ET deadline on Tuesday.

Ridley has been out with a hamstring injury, but it evidently isn't viewed as too serious for him to potentially be traded.

He's under contract through 2027 on a four-year, $92 million deal, which could make trading for Ridley a little more complicated.

Ridley was great last season for the Titans, when he had 1,017 receiving yards.

This season, with rookie QB Cam Ward in an erratic offense, Ridley has 290 receiving yards through six games played.

The Titans are looking toward the future and have been relying on rookie wideouts Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike in recent weeks, making Ridley more expendable.

If a contending team is willing to take on the contract, Ridley could be useful in a number of places.

The Buffalo Bills could definitely use a wide receiver. So too could the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Ridley's name will be floating out there until the 4 p.m. deadline, one way or the other.
