Ridder will be with the Bengals on Sunday in Minnesota...as a member of the Vikings 53 man roster

Not sure if this is a legit signing for QB depth or a tactical move since he spent camp with the Bengals

that was my thoughts - regardless he gets a nice paycheck and a chance to prove himself.

That in itself, replacing a promoted QB from practice squad with two QB's is unusual for the Bengals which subtly speaks of how the coaches view the capability of their offensive line.

Very true and I also imagine they brought in two to see if one clicks. Clifford was a hard nosed never say die winner at PSU, but perhaps not the arm for the NFL.

It appears Desmond will remain unemployed - Bengals are bringing in Sean Clifford and Mike White.

Clifford is a local kid from St. X and Penn State. I guess this is the end for Des. He had a great run at UC.

From Bengals wire concerning bringing free agents

This could end up being something as simple as bringing back Desmond Ridder, as the team doesn’t have any plans to do anything other than start Jake Browning.

That said, notable free agents include Taylor Heinicke, Mike White and a handful of others. They could also consider trading for someone like Jameis Winston of the New York Giants, but again, that would require them wanting to actually push Browning in a competition in the middle of a season.


all is speculation and until we see someone -- who knows

Report has Kirk Cousins coming in.
