Ridley probably saw those odds, placed an anonymous bet on himself and signed with the Titans so he could make up the difference. Yall know his reputation.

PFF's FA grades:
TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
Released: EDGE Shaquil Barrett (post-June 1)
Re-signed: WR Mike Evans (two years, $41M)
Franchise-tagged: S Antoine Winfield Jr.
Re-signed: QB Baker Mayfield (three years, $100M)
Re-signed: K Chase McLaughlin (three years, $12.3M)
Re-signed: DI Greg Gaines (one year, $3.5M)
Re-signed: RB Chase Edmonds (one year, TBD)
Re-signed: LB Lavonte David (one year, TBD)
Signed: S Jordan Whitehead (two years, $9M)
This contract is a win for Baker Mayfield, the Buccaneers and the NFL at large. A true mid-tier market is developing at quarterback, which had long been a challenge. Tampa Bay gives itself an out after each year, and Baker gets the major payday he deserves.

Evans just keeps on rolling along and emphatically proved his worth in something of a prove-it year after the two sides were unable to agree on an early extension. The “win” from his perspective is that this could amount to a one-year, $29 million contract. The win from Tampa Bay’s side is keeping the total value in check.

This is a very nice reunion for the Bucs. Whitehead, whom they drafted in 2018, has played more than 900 snaps in each of the past five seasons and has a ton of versatility. In his final two seasons in Tampa before going to the Jets, he played free safety and strong safety at about the same rate, whereas in New York he was primarily used as a free safety. Having him and Antoine Winfield Jr. on the backend should give Todd Bowles two versatile safeties who can play all over the field and cause confusion for opposing offenses.

Refs, coaches, and anyone else that has inside information are all gambling, so the players may as well do it too.

It's only a matter of time until a big betting controversy hits the league. I hope it hurts the NFL badly as well, since they deserve all the shit in the world for embracing degenerate gambling.

I totally agree. The NFL was humming along just fine before embracing gambling. It’s going to be a fucking mess and it’s gonna be on them.

Sorry he didn't get his bag. Wish him the best.

As much as I hate the eagles I like what they are doing. Hopefully they trade us a player.

You can fill up a bag pretty well with $7.5M. Just do part of it in quarters.

Thank God, he can be terrible player for another team now.

At least we'll know that, when we see a highlight of him making a splash play next year, it will likely be the only positive play he made all game.

There's a level of irony in the Bears deciding that Justin Fields didn't do enough and then them stacking their roster with weapons the way they are now.

I hope all the other teams spend most of the season talking about who got the money.

This is a Greg Roman led offense now. All about the running game. Herbert is about to be turned into Colin Kaepernick.

No. I’m very close to the chargers being in San Diego. Very familiar with the team.

Keenan was old and damaged. Great. But, old and hurt decently often.

Mike Williams was whatever.

Ekeler, a nobody.

Chargers have 5. Take Nabers. Nabers, according to PFF, scouts, and my own eye is elite tier. Nabers + Quentin Johnston should be as good as Keenan + Williams, if not better. If you could replace your WR1 with a young Antonio Brown, would you?

Gus Edwards is better than Ekeler. Chargers could draft a RB too, but tbd. PFF has Gus Edwards as top 30, Ekeler as top 50. It’s an upgrade.

Chargers should draft a TE.

This offense can get very good, very fast via draft. They kept their pass rushers. Chargers can get good very quick. The missing piece has always been head coach. And now they have Harbaugh. I’m so excited for this team.

Chiefs on the downswing too. That division should be fun.
