Raiders Sign Desmond Ridder as Quarterback

The Las Vegas Raiders' season has taken a downturn after trading star wide receiver Davante Adams to the Jets and struggling with a 2-5 record. Interim head coach Antonio Pierce was made permanent, but the team's performance has not improved, highlighted by poor quarterback play from Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell. Offensive coordinator Luke Getsy faces criticism for failing to establish a run game against the Los Angeles Rams, despite their weak rushing defense. In an effort to address their quarterback issues, the Raiders signed Desmond Ridder from the Cardinals' practice squad; however, his previous struggles raise doubts about his impact. Coach Pierce's frustration with the offense is evident, and there are calls for a potential change if performance does not improve. The Raiders must quickly regroup as they prepare to face the Kansas City Chiefs twice in the coming weeks.
