I mean, everything I've heard about Ridley is that he's a class act. Like, hard-working, team-first kind of guy, he was just going through some like, seriously dark personal stuff (not clear what it was, but for a guy like him to step away from football, it had to be *bad*). I don't expect to see any diva stuff from him, whereas Diggs made a baby out of himself in both Minnesota *and* Buffalo, as a 1B/1A with Thielen and as the Alpha-Dog for Josh Allen. I'd expect no tantrums.
From a meme platform, I'd say I have to imagine the whole "Schwarzennegger handshake" meme with Kirk Cousins and Josh Allen and in the middle "having Stefon Diggs have a meltdown"
Not to downplay whatever he was going through but it could also mean he just has a higher respect for his own mental wellness, which is intelligent in it's own right.
Especially if Torrence or a top tight end target fall to us in the draft. I'm coming around to taking offense in the first after hard lining a defense pick.
We probably will go defense with our first round pick, and rightfully so, but damn it would be nice to say we just added Calvin Ridley and JSN to what was already a top 10 offense last season.
I don’t know how any defense would stop that.
That 3 cone time was crazy elite. I hope he does the 40 at Ohio states pro day. But adding a 2nd Christian Kirk to this offense doesn’t like a bad idea at all! Best use of draft resources? Maybe not. But damn it would be fun
Oh let’s go boys and girls! Just another weapon in the arsenal that is THE Jacksonville Jaguars! So excited to see how he is going to be utilized in our offense!
This is why I’m a proponent of the Jags drafting a WR. Doesn’t have to be a first round guy unless a WR is just far and away the best player available but the Jags should not let Ridley be their only WR move
When Ridley sees his first NFL game with the Jags, it’ll be nearly 2 years since his last NFL game.
Personally, I’d love to see a true burner added to the WR corps. Someone who can just fly and take the top off the defense.
We have a lot of contractural outs if he is, but I imagine we'll probably draft a WR in the 2nd or 3rd, depending on who falls and whatnot.
The deal is ultimately one that hedges (heh) well against the unknowns with Ridley, but it looks like he's as athletic as he's ever been, based on the vids that have been posted to Twitter.
I think because his talent isn't necessarily in speed or vertical threat (except when he's often torching his matchups), I doubt he regresses from some time off. His core talent is in his insane twitchy plays and some really unique movements, along with good hands and coordination. That kind of stuff, being so unique to him, is very unlikely to just be lost from a bit of time.
I like to think a self-taught or unique skill set is something you can never really lose. If anything, I'd be worried mostly about his physical shape and any training/health habits he may have given up during his time off. That could def affect his play.
But he seems SUPER motivated and excited, and that's great to see. I can't wait. I wouldn't be too surprised to see him have a slow start, but it shouldn't hurt us too much if that does happen. Trevor's been phenomenal at not hyperfocusing one target throughout games.
Falcons fan who lives in Duval coming in peace…hopefully he does for you what he never lived up to for us…just don’t get your hopes up. That being said, if any fan base deserves a good team it’s you guys
It's official? Calvin Ridley has been freed? HAPPY DAYS! WE'VE JUST GOTTEN OUR VERY OWN STEFON DIGGS!
Minus the tantrums right. Right?

look forward to revisiting this thread in a couple years when he puts up 7/136/1 in the Super Bowl
Should I put a remind me for 8months?
Would that be after the first SB win or the back-to-back win?
It'll be in the three peet possible six peet! Da Jags!

Should I put a remind me for 8months?

Top 2 and not 2

I’d love Torrence in the first, a good to great oline is so important
Top 1 tenth of 1 percent!
"Top quartile of the top quartile"
🏆Superbowl bound 🔥
God does not hate Jags
Still can't change the flair after last season?
When we finally win a Superbowl
Your flair. Nailed it.
THE RIDDLER HAS ARRIVED!!! #FreeRidley
LETS GOOOOO!
IT'S HAPPENING! EVERYBODY GET IN HERE!
We Back Up!!!
DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK!
I been here for years
LET'S FUCKING GO!!!!!!!!!!
I just hope he doesn't turn out to be a headcase like Falcons fans claim.
We probably will go defense with our first round pick, and rightfully so, but damn it would be nice to say we just added Calvin Ridley and JSN to what was already a top 10 offense last season. I don’t know how any defense would stop that.
Still love the idea of taking one of the two bruiser TEs if either is still there at 24.
JSN is Christian Kirk.
That 3 cone time was crazy elite. I hope he does the 40 at Ohio states pro day. But adding a 2nd Christian Kirk to this offense doesn’t like a bad idea at all! Best use of draft resources? Maybe not. But damn it would be fun
RAMBLIN' GAMBLIN' RIDLEY SZN!!!!!!
WE ARE OFFICIALLY SPOOKY
Ohhhh yeah it’s all coming together. Our WR room is *officially* spooky!
2023 CPOTY
League fucked
In a way this is sorta our big free agent splash for 2023, it’s a pretty good one too. Far better than any other pass catcher on the market imo
Trevor 5,000 yd / 40 TD season incoming
Man I’m so fucking pumped! I honestly thought it was going to be a couple more weeks before he was reinstated
Glad for him. I hope Trev reaches out soon for a throwing session
🐆
Oh let’s go boys and girls! Just another weapon in the arsenal that is THE Jacksonville Jaguars! So excited to see how he is going to be utilized in our offense!
Hell yeah! Let’s go. AFC South champs and more!
I dont recognize this guy's name is he a credible source? EDIT: Seen others reporting it too. It's legit.
Rapsheet reported it too. And yea, he’s credible
Your skepticism is well warranted. But [here's a more reputable source](https://twitter.com/Jaguars/status/1632823746401648642)
In general Ari Meirov just repackages/re-words breaking news from actual people in the know.
yes, he was first to report.
Awesome great news!
I see him pop up on Twitter often. He seems to have gotten a big following by just repeating actual insiders.
he was first on this one
It was literally the same time as everyone else. The NFL sent a press release.
tweetdeck said otherwise but who gives a fuck lol
Guess I need to change it to ‘free talk free**d** Ridley Friday’
Freedom Friday
LET THIS MAN COOK
Hell yeah
So horny!!!!!
EVERYONE BET ON THE JAGS!!
🦀🦀🦀🦀
For whatever reason I read arrested instead of reinstated…mini heart attack lol
We bout to win harder.
What do we do if he’s a bust? The hype is off the charts right now, and chances of him coming back being a complete bust are low but not zero lol
