During minicamp, the Indianapolis Colts had quarterback Desmond Ridder in for a tryout. However, with training camp nearly upon us, Ridder will not be joining the Colts. Instead, he is signing with the Cincinnati Bengals, according to Tom Pelissero.

Another former Cardinals, linebacker Jesse Luketa, who spent three years with the Cardinals and was drafted by them in the seventh round in 2022 out of Penn State, had a tryout with the Dallas Cowboys, according to Cards Wire's Howard Balzer.

Desmond Ridder is leaving the Las Vegas Raiders for more familiar pastures. On Sunday, Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network confirmed that the quarterback has signed with the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Cincinnati Bengals have dipped into the free-agency market to add a quarterback to their ranks. The Cincinnati Bengals have reached an agreement with free agent quarterback Desmond Ridder, who brings NFL experience from stints with the Las Vegas Raiders, Arizona Cardinals (practice squad), and Atlanta Falcons.

When the Bengals signed Ridder over the weekend, that was the first thing that popped up. But there’s quite a bit more. Bengals head coach Zac Taylor, for example, was the one to offer Ridder a scholarship to join the Bearcats in the first place.
