It’s not often that a new hire will admit on their first day that they actually wanted to remain with their previous employer.<\/p>\n
Former Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a> wide receiver Calvin Ridley did just that during his introductory news conference with the Tennessee Titans on Friday. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n “I know that (DeAndre Hopkins is) here and I know that I wanted to play with another receiver on the other side that can help me do what I do best,” Ridley said. “I knew that (the Titans) had a really good defense and they were up-and-coming and stuff, so I was looking into it. You know, I really wanted to, honestly be with the Jags, but there were a lot of things that weren’t working out for me, and I think the Titans had that other side for me, so I chose the Titans. Obviously, the money was pretty good.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Tennessee has made arguably the biggest splash on the free-agency market at the receiver position, signing Ridley to a four-year, $92M deal on Wednesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ridley gives second-year quarterback Will Levis a second alpha wideout to air it out to, along with five-time Pro Bowler DeAndre Hopkins.<\/p>\n\n
