BREAKING: Atlanta Falcons & Arizona Cardinals Complete Quarterback Trade

The Atlanta Falcons & Arizona Cardinals just completed a trade this week.

The Falcons once viewed Desmond Ridder as their quarterback of the future, but the experience of watching him run the offense in 2023 led the front office to sign Kirk Cousins this offseason.

On Thursday, the team ended the Ridder era by trading him to the Arizona Cardinals.

Ridder ranked 26th in QBR last season, finishing with 2,836 yards, 12 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions in 15 games. He also added 53 rush attempts for 193 yards and five touchdowns.

He also lost nine fumbles and his turnovers often came in big spots to contribute to Falcons losses.

He will now sit behind Kyler Murray in Arizona and will likely only touch the field due to an injury to the starter of a blowout in a game.
