When the Atlanta Falcons traded Calvin Ridley to the Jacksonville Jaguars, they were hoping to give the receiver a landing spot he’d favor and recoup draft capital for a player who both sides knew was not going to remain in Atlanta. General manager Terry Fontenot and the Jaguars cooked up a choose-your-own-adventure-style return for the Falcons, with the team receiving a 2023 fifth round pick if Ridley was reinstated from his season-long gambling suspension by a certain date (he was, and the pick was traded) and 2024 compensation that could range from a fourth rounder to a second rounder.
