Cardinals Cut Former Falcons QB Desmond Ridder

Desmond Ridder, traded from the Falcons, fails to secure backup role behind Kyler Murray.

Ridder was traded to the Cardinals in March for receiver Rondale Moore.
He competed with Clayton Tune for the backup quarterback position.
Ridder's preseason performance included a concussion and lackluster stats.
Tune, a 2023 fifth-round pick, outperformed Ridder in training camp and preseason games.
Ridder's release marks a significant career downturn since his time with the Falcons.
