Their catch per target is almost identical. Gabe's yards per catch was higher at 16.6 vs Ridley's 13.4. If Gabe's catch per target ratio stayed the same, given the same number of targets as Ridley he would have produced 1520 yards to Ridley's 1016.
another plus is for the same money as Ridley we got to get a veteran center. (BONUS)  I actually believe the groupof recievers we have will produce much more without Ridley. Treavor will spread the ball more.  I know Ridley was pressed more than any other receiver in the NFL last year. That was because he was most always the first read. Other teams knew this and their strategy was to take away TL's first read as their rush would get there before he could move on. Just my opinion.
