arthur75 415 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 To me depends on what we give up. I say a 3rd would be adequate. Not sure what salary cap implications would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's on his last year of his Rookie Contract a quick google search showed all this..seems to be a lot of interest so the Chiefs are probably out https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1GGRV_enUS760US760&sxsrf=APq-WBvru2-tp1_UOkAwfq_6mhuEX0rpKg:1644934435901&q=calvin+ridley+trade&tbm=nws&source=univ&tbo=u&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj7m-ql8oH2AhWUJEQIHcblAdwQt8YBegQIAhAG&biw=1280&bih=577&dpr=1.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought maybe he said what it was. Sometimes a friend died or something like that and they talk about it. I don't really know that much about him playing for the falcons.

CranjisMcbasketball 780 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 If we give up a late round pick for a 1 year rental, sure why not. if we trade a 2nd with the intention to give a guy with issues a big contract extension, im 100% out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine the front office would have some concrete info on that but not sure if we'll ever hear about them unless there's some public incident in the mix.

Keep the picks for defense and don't worry about Ridley's personal issues in the future. Lamardirts, Iluvhouse24 and artsy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggjliv4 1,292 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I hate to trade a 3rd or more for a one year rental. We have quite a few holes to fill and need young talent on cheap contracts. Plus Veach crushed last year's draft, rather go that route and see what FA we can grab. I do think he goes WR with 1st or 2nd rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 They have to pay Brown and extend Hill so I don't see how they afford Ridley for more than a one year rental. Better to go after JuJu if he didn't burn his bridges last off season with the Chiefs. His value didn't go up after this past season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt he's anxious to continue in Pit who has no QB at the moment...and hopefully forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefmanzada 466 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I'm not really sure if anything else matters. Veach hit on the linebackers. Next year Bolton and Gay will be our 3 down starters and that in itself is the greatest accomplishment one could ask for from a GM. Not to mention the OL that’s going to be even more gruesome next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but I was thinking the Chiefs thought they had him last year and he switched back to the Steelers at the last minute. May be some bad blood there.

In that sense I think Chiefs should be able to understand his will to stay put for a year with no serious long term option available and keep loyalty to Big Ben who basically made him. Unless there's any resentment from the Chiefs frontoffice I think this should be an easy deal to take care of rather soon. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Ingram spurned the Chiefs for the Steelers and they had no issue bringing him in later. Chiefs will pursue if they see a player can help the team. oldtimer and sith13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a free agent today... If he did well with Donald, he could do well with CJ. I would bring him in and let us draft a later DE in the draft. One that can learn and play without having to be a starter right away. Also gives us flexibility in the draft if we can fill some of these holes now.
