Jaguars Trade for Suspended Falcons WR Calvin Ridley, per Report

The Jaguars are reportedly acquiring wide receiver Calvin Ridley in a trade with the Falcons, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Rapoport reported the Falcons and Jaguars are involved in a “complex draft compensation” that could include a 2023 fifth-round pick and a 2024 second-rounder.

Ridley is currently suspended for the entire 2022 season because he bet on NFL games last season.

Because of his suspension, the trade’s terms could change. According to Rapoport, if Ridley is reinstated by a date, the deal will include the 2023 fifth-rounder, but if he isn’t, then it will turn into a sixth-round pick.
