@TomPelissero: The #Raiders informed QB Desmond Ridder they won’t tender him as a restricted free agent, per source. The former Cincinnati star, Ridder has 18 career starts for Atlanta and Las Vegas. An experienced option now set to hit the market.

Expected to start tonight on MNF versus Atlanta, per Adam Schefter

I remain optimistic that Dez could find some success with the right team, maybe as a designed play substitute at QB, some wild cat or something less than every down

He's needs to be backup on a team with a good QB. So far his "teachers" have been Mariota and Minshew.

I looked at his line after the game and he attempted like 20 dropbacks max and got sacked on 4 of them.

His o line was down 5 players and he didn't really have a chance.

I'm glad he got the TD pass but man was he getting killed out there. Great to see him on the field & perform fairly well.

TD for Des against the Bengals late in the game today.

glad for him, but, man, he was getting killed behind that OL - i wondered if they pulled minshew, t keep him from getting hurt?

Desmond got a little emotional talking about the move to LV.

Signed by the Raiders who lost a QB to injury yesterday

It would be wild to see him eventually wind up with the Bengals since Zac Taylor was his original recruiter in college. Zac never coached him at any point though.

I think his agent/team and the NFL will be able to keep him on a roster/practice squad to qualify for the NFL pension at this point, which I believe kicks in after 4 seasons get technical around roster/practice squad/etc. After than though, I'd love to see him back in Clifton on staff. I think he embodies a lot of what Marcus Freeman brought into recruiting/leadership/role model during his early years in coaching before rounding out the X's and O's.

Unfortunately for Ridder he is not an elite passer. This will be his life in the NFL. Up and Down. I wonder if he will ever play in the UFL.
