The Atlanta Falcons are trading quarterback Desmond Ridder to the Arizona Cardinals after signing Kirk Cousins in free agency, a source told CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones.
Atlanta will receive wideout Rondale Moore in return, Jones reports.
Ridder started 13 games in 2023 but played in two additional contests. The 24-year-old was benched twice in favor of veteran Taylor Heinicke during the Falcons’ 7-10 campaign.
The 2022 third-rounder finished the season with 2,836 passing yards, 12 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. He added 193 yards and five scores on the ground but had 12 fumbles.
