The Atlanta Falcons may not have Calvin Ridley next season.

The Falcons are still holding out hope that Calvin Ridley will be available for the upcoming season, according to an update provided by Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. He believes there is a very strong possibility that the wide receiver will be traded this summer.

On the future of Calvin Ridley. A trade is a very strong possibility.

My colleague said that both sides could be looking for a fresh start. I agree.

Garafolo believes that Ridley will be on a different team next season.

In October, he said he would step away from football to focus on his mental wellbeing. This will help me become the best version of myself in the future.

He missed Atlanta's trip to London for Week 5 and a game in London for personal reasons.

The Alabama product was selected with a first-round pick by the Falcons in the first round of the 2018?

He became one of the best receivers in the league in 2020 with 90 catches for 1,374 yards and nine touchdown. He put up those numbers while playing with a friend, and it made them all the more impressive.

With Jones on the TennesseeTitans this season, Ridley seemed poised to maintain his spot as the league's top wide receiver. He played in just five games.

A number of teams are likely to get involved in the sweepstakes if he is traded.

He is 27 years old and under contract for next season. There should be a number of teams interested in the Chicago Bears, Philadelphia Eagles, and Miami Dolphins, for example, if they need a go-to option for a young quarterback or another receiver.
