Titans GM Ran Carthon reflected on the team signing WR Calvin Ridley, mentioning how owner Amy Adams Strunk found out about the deal minutes via an online report minutes after they finalized a contract.
“To show you how this world works now, we get the deal done, the deal gets agreed to,” Carthon said, via the team’s official X. “So, we’re in the office, we’re having a moment, and in this particular moment, it was myself, it was (assistant GM) Chad (Brinker), it was (head coach Brian Callahan) and (offensive coordinator) Nick Holz. So, we’re high-fiving and bro-hugging and doing all that, and so we’re like, ‘hey, let’s get Calvin on the phone, let’s congratulate him.’ So — literally, this is all happening within 90 seconds — we call Calvin, we’re FaceTiming him and we’re excited and he’s excited and then my phone beeps and it’s Mrs. Amy. And I pick up the phone and I’m like, ‘Hello,’ and she’s like, ‘Is this true?’ And I’m like, ‘Is what true?’ And she was like, ‘Did we just get Calvin Ridley?’ And I’m like, what the hell? Is it out already? We’re on the phone with him right now, congratulating him that we got this done.”
