Calvin Ridley, a South Florida native, was reinstated to the NFL on March 6, 2023, after serving a one-year suspension for violating the league’s gambling policy. He was traded from the Atlanta Falcons to the Jacksonville Jaguars, and he produced in the 2023 season in his return home. Ridley, 29, played and started a career-high 17 games — catching 76 passes for 1,016 yards and eight touchdowns. A former first-round pick of the 2018 NFL Draft, Ridley enters this offseason as a free agent.

If he chooses to sign a long-term extension, the Jaguars would have to come off a second-round pick or a third-rounder in the upcoming draft. Ridley has shown that despite a year off, he remains one of the best route runners in the league.
