Ridley Speculated to Hit Free Agency

I think he is the classic overpaid veteran free agent (in this free agent cycle). However, if he cuts us a discount, sure let’s keep him. I just see him going for the money. He already took 2 years off, and this is likely the last big payday of his career. It’s going to probably take a little more than that in the signing bonus column in my opinion. A low signing bonus such as this is very team friendly for years 3 and 4 if the team decides to move on which puts future 31 year old Calvin Ridley in not such a great spot. The higher the signing bonus makes it more likely that years 3 and 4 actually become real because of a higher dead cap figure to the team. If Ridley signs such a deal as you propose, he’d be giving the team total control over making years 3 and 4 team option years with very little incentive to keep him unless he’s playing at god tier level. From Ridley’s camp’s standpoint, you’d want there to be some incentive for the team to want to keep and pay you in years 3 and 4 and that’s accomplished with having a more significant dead cap figure. Essentially, your numbers might be in line, but I think the deal is going to have to look a little different. Who knows? His market may be softer than expected and he has to take what he can get. |
