Bottom line... he's not worth his contact at this point. But if you do want to spend the 20M, then give me R Shaheen over Ridley all day long I know the cap is rising but will a FA WR really get 20M AAV, I’m not including Pickens which we won’t bid on. Hollywood Brown has the same skillset but is younger, has a connection to the Chiefs , stayed healthy in 2025 and will cost less. There are options (draft or FA) that can replicate what he does for way less and for longer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 It makes sense to keep Ridley for 1 more year unless they add a veteran to replace his starting spot on the roster. That could be a Z to replace him directly or a slot and move Dike to Z as a starter. His contract ain’t cheap, but neither would his replacements be. And there aren’t exactly a lot of good free agent options. Bongo59, CreepingDeath, and Strunk'sDessert 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about replacement. I trust Borgonzi to do his job and put together a good WR room. I don't trust Ridley to stay on the field and catch the ball. rns90 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when it has minimal guaranteed money remaining as opposed to signing a veteran to replace him. The only real question is whether they think he will be healthy and able to play at the same speed he had in the past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
socaljake Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Shaheed has never topped more than 59 rec 719 yards in a season. Expecting him to all of a sudden turn into a go to WR seems like a stretch. He’ll be way overpaid because of the postseason performance, but he’s never been a high volume WR and with Dike here he brings less ST value Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Ridley’s last year at Alabama. They may not have some deep connection. Or they may loathe each other. We only know there was that 1 year.

It's not a long term fix, but a 3-4 year deal with plans to only keep him 2-3 would be a nice addition, even if he's past his prime. Good locker room addition as well for a young team. I doubt it happens for multiple reasons, but it's a possibility I hadn't thought of before. CreepingDeath 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
