During minicamp, the Indianapolis Colts<\/a> had quarterback Desmond Ridder in for a tryout. However, with training camp nearly upon us, Ridder will not be joining the Colts<\/a>. Instead, he is signing with the Cincinnati Bengals<\/a>, according to Tom Pelissero.<\/p>\n

A third-round pick by the Falcons in the 2022 NFL draft, Ridder spent his first two seasons in Atlanta. There, he appeared in 19 games, with 17 starts<\/a>, 13 of which came during the 2023 season.<\/p>\n

In that span, Ridder completed 64% of his passes with 14 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.<\/p>\n

Ridder was traded to Arizona during the 2024 offseason. He was released by the Cardinals<\/a> during roster cutdowns and then joined the Las Vegas Raiders<\/a>, where he would play in six games with one start.<\/p>\n

With Anthony Richardson sidelined during minicamp, part of the decision to bring in Ridder for a tryout could have been to provide the quarterback position with a boost during those practices.<\/p>\n

According to 107.5 The Fan’s Kevin Bowen<\/a>, Ridder’s reps in those practices were “very limited.”<\/p>\n
