It’s on Christian Gonzalez to stop Patriots’ offseason target Calvin Ridley

FOXBORO — The Patriots tried to make a splash addition with their available salary cap space this offseason, but wide receiver Calvin Ridley elected to join The Titans are on a four-year, $92 million contract.

Ridley is coming off of a 10-catch, 15-target, 143-yard performance, but it came in a 52-14 loss to the Lions, and the 1-6 Titans come into Week 9 with a worse record than the 2- 6Patriots. So, perhaps signing Ridley, who has just 22 catches for 326 yards with one touchdown this season, wouldn’t have changed the trajectory of their team very much this season. Heading into this week against the Patriots, Ridley wants last week’s stat line to be the standard moving forward.

“I should have all games like that,” Ridley said this week.
