Falcons Trade Desmond Ridder to Cardinals for Rondale Moore
In a strategic move, Atlanta acquires speedster Rondale Moore after signing Kirk Cousins, while Ridder seeks a fresh start in Arizona.
- Desmond Ridder, former Atlanta Falcons quarterback, has been traded to the Arizona Cardinals in exchange for wide receiver Rondale Moore.
- The Falcons recently signed Kirk Cousins as their new starting quarterback, making Ridder expendable.
- Rondale Moore, the new Falcons receiver, is expected to add speed and versatility to Atlanta's offense.
- Ridder's tenure with the Falcons was marked by inconsistent play, leading to his benching twice during the last season.
- The trade reflects both teams' efforts to address key roster needs ahead of the 2024 NFL season.
