Calvin Ridley, the Tennessee Titans' high-priced wide receiver acquisition, has voiced his frustration over his lack of targets in the team's disappointing start to the season. Despite signing a massive four-year, $92 million contract in the offseason, Ridley has failed to live up to expectations and has expressed his displeasure with his limited role in the offense.

Ridley's frustration reached a boiling point after the Titans' 20-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, where he failed to record a single catch despite receiving eight targets. Most of those targets came in the second half, leaving Ridley feeling marginalized early in the game.
"S---, I need some in the beginning of the f---ing game," Ridley said, according to AtoZ Sports Nashville. "S--- is getting f---ing crazy for me. It is what it is. I sucked today. I got to be better, but I got to get the ball a little earlier in the game to f---ing be in the game and here with the team so I could play well also."

Ridley's comments underscore the Titans' offensive struggles this season. Despite the presence of quarterback Ryan Tannehill and a talented running back duo in Derrick Henry and Dontrell Hilliard, the Titans have managed just 13.8 points per game through the first five weeks of the season.
The Titans were hoping that Ridley, who had a resurgent year with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2023, would be the missing piece to take the passing game to the next level. However, Ridley has only two catches on six targets in his last two games, leaving the Titans searching for answers.
Ridley's frustration is understandable considering his past production. In 2023, he caught 76 passes for 1,016 yards and eight touchdowns, surpassing 1,000 yards receiving for the second time in his career. His absence from the Titans' offense has been glaring, especially with the team struggling to find a consistent rhythm.
The Titans are now 1-4 on the season and face a daunting task of turning things around. Ridley's frustration is a symptom of the team's larger issues, and it remains to be seen whether he can find a way to contribute more significantly in the weeks to come.
