It's a face off between the King of quarterbacks, Patrick Mahomes, and the Prince that was Promised, Trevor Lawrence as the Kansas City Chiefs prepare to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Nick Wright tells Damonza that while the Jaguars are legit, and Calvin Ridley is awesome, he doesn't think their defense will be able to hold off Mahomes, and that offense, especially with the return of Travis Kelce. Watch as he lays out why he likes the Chiefs this week.
Tennessee was 9-25 over Carthorn's two seasons as GM. Carthorn in 2023 was victorious in a power struggle with former Titans head coach Mike Vrabel and was promoted to executive vice president. He then used the 33rd pick in the 2024 NFL Draft to take Will Levis, who was one of the NFL's worst quarterbacks in 2024 and appears to be a career backup at best. Carthorn's front office also made curious signings like Tony Pollard and Calvin Ridley in the offseason. Carthorn will likely land with another front office, though his days as a general manager are probably over.
He added two rushes for minus-3 yards. Ridley caught a 39-yard sideline bomb from the Tennessee 1 to dig the Titans out of negative field position and meet his contract incentive for 1,000 yards. The highly-paid 30-year-old wideout finished with a 64/1017/4 receiving line, one more yard than he had with the Jaguars in 2023. Ridley will almost certainly be back with the Titans in 2025 as his contract calls for a $28 million cap figure that is onerous to escape. It will be hard to see him as more than a volume WR3 if the Titans retain Brian Callahan this offseason given the state of the current class of college quarterbacks, but perhaps the Titans can find a way to unleash Ridley. Certainly there's no way anyone would ever have typed "find a way to unleash Ridley" before, that's absolutely the first time.
