Doug Pederson: Jaguars weighed WR Calvin Ridley as an option in spring

Doug Pederson explains why the Jaguars traded for Calvin Ridley. He was available in the spring, but the team decided to wait for his reinstatement. The team sent two conditional picks to the Falcons for Ridley, one likely to be a fifth-rounder in 2023 NFL Draft and the other a second- to fourth-round selection in 2024. Ridley was suspended by the NFL on March 7 for betting on games in November 2021 while he was on the non-football injury list.
