Who Should I Start? Tyler Huntley or Desmond Ridder

The Baltimore Ravens have signed quarterback Tyler Huntley to their practice squad, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. He had been released by the Cleveland Browns earlier this week. Huntley has bounced around the NFL and is now headed for his third stint with the Ravens. He began his career with the team in 2020 and even made the Pro Bowl after going 2-2 with three total touchdowns and three interceptions in 2022. He also attempted 133 with the Miami Dolphins last year, posting a 2-3 record. The veteran added competition to the Browns' quarterback room this offseason but ultimately didn't make the team. Now, he's back in Baltimore, where he'll provide depth and a familiar face behind Lamar Jackson and Cooper Rush.

The Minnesota Vikings signed free-agent quarterback Desmond Ridder to their 53-man roster on Monday, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The Vikings need some depth at the QB position with J.J. McCarthy out two to four weeks after suffering a high-ankle sprain in the Sunday night loss to the Atlanta Falcons. With McCarthy out for Week 3 against the Cincinnati Bengals and possibly beyond, veteran Carson Wentz will step into starting duties under center for Minnesota, with undrafted rookie Max Brosmer serving as his backup. Given Brosmer's lack of experience in the NFL, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Ridder be elevated to the No. 2 role sooner than later once he learns the offense. Ridder, a third-round pick in 2022 by the Falcons, quickly wore out his welcome in Atlanta and spent last year as the backup for the Las Vegas Raiders.
