Falcons QB Desmond Ridder has agreed to his 4-year rookie deal with $5,362,962 and includes a $1,080,336 signing bonus.
Ridder, a third-round pick out of Cincinnati, is expected to battle veteran Marcus Mariota for the starting quarterback job in Atlanta. He’s the last of the team’s eight draft picks to sign and does so just in time as rookies report to training camp Tuesday.
The Falcons shipped Matt Ryan to Indianapolis over the offseason and the coaching staff appears to be going in a different direction at QB, focusing more on mobility.
