2 years agoThe Atlanta Falcons and third-round rookie quarterback Desmond Ridder agreed to a four-year rookie deal worth $5,362,962 on Tuesday. The deal includes a $1,080,336 signing bonus. The Falcons rookies are reporting to training camp on Tuesday, so they needed to get something done with Ridder so that he could participate. Veteran Marcus Mariota is fully expected to begin the 2022 season as Atlanta's starting signal-caller, but if he falls flat, Ridder could push him for the job at some point down the line. The 22-year-old Ridder will have his ups and downs if he ends up starting games at some point in his rookie season, and he's probably not worth drafting in single-QB, single-year fantasy leagues.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
