Desmond Ridder joins Vikings as experienced QB2 for Week 3
Former Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder has officially signed with the Minnesota Vikings, securing a spot on their 53-man roster just in time for Week 3 of the NFL season.
This move marks a new chapter for Ridder, who previously played for the Atlanta Falcons. Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported that the Vikings are opting for Ridder’s experience over relying on undrafted rookie Max Brosmer as the backup to Carson Wentz.
By bringing Ridder onto the active roster, the Vikings add a layer of flexibility and security to their quarterback situation. With Wentz at the helm, having a seasoned player like Ridder ready to step in could prove invaluable if the need arises.
Ridder’s transition to Minnesota highlights the ongoing shifts within the league as teams seek to fortify their rosters ahead of the crucial mid-season stretch. As the Vikings prepare for their upcoming games, Ridder’s presence could be a significant asset in their pursuit of success.
