Why are people expecting Ridley to be happy with under $20 million per year?   Franchise tag would net him 20+ million per.

If we're paying over $20 million per, I'd hope it'd be for Tee Higgins.  But I'd understand if we franchised Ridley's 30 year old tail for 1 more season.

They're going to save the franchise tag for Josh Allen.

No they won't.  They are going to sign Josh Allen to a long-term contract well before the league year opens.

Great start to that process.

I think there's a good chance that Ridley dips in March. The tag will more than likely be used on Allen and that was the only chess piece they could have used to lock Ridley down.

Ridley could probably get a good three year deal on a rising AFC team or an AFC team that's constantly threatening for a Superbowl.

Chiefs immediately come to mind. As do the Ravens. If the Bengals lose Higgins to the market then Ridley becomes that more attractable for a slighlty cheaper contract.

In the NFC, again, he could jump on the Detroit bandwagon, Dallas bandwagon or even go back to the NFC South on what could be a "set for life post NFL" type of deal with Carolina who clearly needs to help Young out.
