It appears that Desmond Ridder will have to wait a little longer until he gets another chance to work out for an NFL team. It was previously reported that the former Las Vegas Raiders quarterback was going to try out for the Denver Broncos at their rookie minicamp.

A 2022 third-round pick, Ridder spent his first two seasons with the Falcons. He started 17 games over that stretch, compiling an 8-9 record while completing 64% of his passes for 3,544 yards, 14 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions, adding another five scores on the ground.

The Broncos have also invited veteran Desmond Ridder to rookie minicamp on a tryout basis, KUSA-TV's Mike Klis first reported on Tuesday.

The Denver Broncos are Bo Nix ’s team. They also have Jarrett Stidham and Sam Ehlinger behind him after free agency and the draft. However, former Atlanta Falcons starter Desmond Ridder is among the roster hopefuls attending the Broncos’ rookie minicamp.

After veteran Desmond Ridder backed out of attending Denver Broncos rookie minicamp due to a scheduling conflict, the Broncos are bringing in a different quarterback for a tryout. Denver has invited Ian Book to attend minicamp on a tryout basis, according to KUSA-TV's Mike Klis.

Nix is the unquestioned starter for the Broncos going forward, and Stidham is a high-end backup. Head coach Sean Payton is one of the best developers of quarterbacks in the NFL, so even riding the bench in Denver for a season could be beneficial for a player like Ridder.

The Denver Post's Parker Gabriel reports former Atlanta Falcons starting quarterback Desmond Ridder won't be at Broncos rookie minicamp.

Ridder was the Atlanta Falcons' third-round draft choice in 2022 and became their starting QB in 2023 but it's been a struggle since then, getting traded last year to Arizona, then released, then picked up by the Raiders, who didn't renew his contract.
