Titans receiver Calvin Ridley was involved in an 'incident' at Nashville International Airport over the weekend, WKRN News 2 reported, and the team issued a short statement rather than a detailed account.
'We are aware of the incident and are in communication with Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority,' the Titans said. 'We will not be able to comment any further at this time.'
On Monday, head coach Robert Saleh, speaking to reporters, said via team reporter Jim Wyatt that the matter was a 'minor miscommunication' and that it was being handled by law enforcement.
The report placed the news in the context of the Nov. 10 trade deadline, then 4 p.m. Eastern Time the next day. Ridley had caught six of 13 targets for 91 yards in seven games. He signed a four-year, $92 million contract in 2024, later restructured, and was on a two-year, $35.25 million deal, the report said. An acquiring team would take on less than $3 million for the rest of the season, and he is not due guaranteed money in 2027.
Receiver-needy teams had inquired about the 31-year-old, according to the same account. This write-up does not repeat unverified comment-section guesses about what happened at the airport.
No completed trade was recorded in the article, which asked readers to watch the remaining time before the deadline.
