The Patriots will reportedly have to look elsewhere for a No. 1 receiver this offseason.
For the second year in a row, New England lost out on a bidding war to the Titans for a proven pass-catcher, as NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday that wide receiver Calvin Ridley is signing a four-year, $92 million contract with Tennessee.
According to OverTheCap, Ridley’s new deal with the Titans stands as the NFL’s sixth-richest contract awarded to a wideout by total value.
The Patriots and Jaguars — Ridley’s former team — were widely regarded as the two finalists for the 29-year-old receiver’s services.
