Desmond Ridder to the Cardinals (Traded Rondale Moore)

[Cheesebeef]

Good move. He’s a solid backup QB who’s got decent wheels so if Kyler misses a game, the offense doesn’t have to drastically change.

Curious if this also makes the Cards think they’ve got Hollywood coming back more likely than not. Either that or we have to start signing some kind of WR. Even though Moore couldn’t be depended on, he was at least a body who could surprise every now and then.

We don’t even have much bodies right now.

Everyone but Bird Gang likes this trade.

Ridder is basically a younger Josh Dobbs

And Rondale is basically a younger JJ Nelson. See ya!

 

[MadCardDisease]

Ridder still has 2 years left on his contract and has a bunch of starts under his belt. I feel much better with the backup QB spot now.

Definite upgrade on Clayton who didn't cost a draft choice or much cash.

 

[MadCardDisease]

Only a dozen or so "Keim Time" players left on the roster after one season under Monti.

I'm with you

Hope this doesn't lead to bringing back Hollywood

The league isn't ready for the Greg Dortch renaissance

That's a good thing

Just goes to show how bad he was

 

[Chris_Sanders]

I agree this is a very good move by Monti. Ridder has two years left. Moore on his way out.

I wasn't certain Rondale would make the team after the draft. I fully expect two receivers with how deep this class is.

It really is an impressive purge.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Ridder started 17 games for Atlanta over the past two seasons, throwing for 3,544 yards with 14 touchdowns and 12 interceptions

One of Ridder's biggest issues last season was ball security: In addition to 12 interceptions in 2023, he also had 12 fumbles

Falcons deal QB Ridder to Cardinals for WR Moore

After the addition of Kirk Cousins in Atlanta, Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder has been traded to the Cardinals for wide receiver Rondale Moore, Atlanta announced Thursday.

Maybe the old coach trick making him carry a ball everywhere he goes will help?

 

[jbjarko]

Just didn't see this coming. Rare player for player trade and I like it!

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Now I gotta backtrack all the trash I talked about Ridder all season long, ugh.

As a backup I love it. He's experienced and young, can fill in for a game or 2 and be competent.

Best part is there's no need to pick up a 5th year option, so when his 2 years are up, if they want to let him walk he may fetch a comp pick.

Um, okay

 

[ajcardfan]

I agree this is a very good move by Monti. Ridder has two years left. Moore on his way out.

This is a very crafty GM move. We get a legit backup QB with a lot of game experience for a guy who wasn't in the long term plans.

 

[The6]

OUT OF NO WHERE!

Boom!

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Yes, but we now have Kyler and a quality backup. We can find a 3rd on the street if we need to.

Why would we do that when tune isn’t expensive and they saw something in him they liked enough to spend a draft pick?

It was unpredictable. These types of trades early in free agency are rare.

Tune will be leading the practice squad band.

 

[BritCard]

$1.3m per year for a backup QB with an 8-9 record is great value.

No more pew pew pew?

 

[ajcardfan]

My guess is Tune goes nowhere and Hollywood signs.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

I still think Tune just needs some more game speed reps to see what he can do

Preseason should show if he's improving

Good thing I'm now stuck with 2 Rondale jerseys

Can send them to me my last name is Moore
