The Las Vegas Raiders decided to not tender quarterback Desmond Ridder as an restricted free agent, meaning he is set to hit the open market, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported. He is now an unrestricted free agent.
This decision comes as the Raiders begin their search for a new starting quarterback this offseason, an effort that is getting a reset after Matthew Stafford chose to stay with the Los Angeles Rams on a restructured deal Friday. The Raiders are now reportedly interested in a few other veteran quarterbacks, such as Russell Wilson, Justin Fields and Sam Darnold.
