The Jacksonville Jaguars are a team trying to build off of what was a great 2022 season for them. One way to do that is to continue ensuring Trevor Lawrence grows his game. One way to do that will be to get him more weapons. There are a lot of options out there to help.

They need to figure out the tight-end situation first and foremost. If Evan Engram stays, that would be ideal for them but you never know what happens in a case like that. There are good replacement options out there if need be.

In addition to that, his wide receiver room is going to need to improve as well. There is one way that it will automatically improve and that is the addition of Calvin Ridley. Of course, he was suspended indefinitely during the 2021 season for betting on NFL games.

This came as a member of the Atlanta Falcons but the Jaguars took a risk and traded for him while serving his suspension. Now, he is eligible to apply for reinstatement on Wednesday and he is doing just that. It will be interesting to see how this resolves.

Calvin Ridley is going to make a great addition to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Adding someone like this to the Jaguars’ offense will provide a boost. We don’t know for sure how he will play since he hasn’t been out there in a long time but you can assume that he won’t be a downgrade over anyone by any means.

Even if he isn’t the same Calvin Ridley that we knew before the suspension, he will be another decent option for Trevor Lawrence to have in his back pocket. That won’t hurt the depth of this offense at all.

Ridley even tweeted about it on Wednesday when it started to come out that he was applying for reinstatement. It is good to see that this was a day that was important to him. An addition like that to a growing Jacksonville offense can really make a difference.

With some of the moves that the Jaguars will make this off-season in addition to finally seeing Ridley in their uniform, it should be fun with this team for a long time. Hopefully, Ridley comes back as good as ever.
