Kraft gives odd answer on why Calvin Ridley didn't sign with Patriots originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
If you ask Robert Kraft, the New England Patriots' failure to sign Calvin Ridley in free agency wasn't due to a lack of trying.
Ridley signed a lucrative four-year contract worth $92 million with the Tennessee Titans earlier this month as one of the top wide receivers in free agency. According to reports, the Patriots made a very competitive offer to Ridley -- roughly $22 million per year -- that ultimately fell short to the Titans' $23 million-per-year offer.
