Falcons head coach Arthur Smith named Ridder the team's starting quarterback to begin the 2023 campaign, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

Advice: After the acquisition of Taylor Heinicke, Rothstein reported that Ridder was still expected to be Atlanta's starter, but Smith confirmed that notion Tuesday. Smith's comments also suggest that the Falcons aren't targeting a quarterback with their No. 8 overall pick in the upcoming draft. Ridder took over for Marcus Mariota and started the final four games of the 2022 campaign, recording a 63.5 percent completion percentage, 708 passing yards and two passing touchdowns while totaling 16 rushing attempts for 64 yards. After losing his first two starts, Atlanta won back-to-back games to end the season, bringing optimism for the future, but Ridder did lose a fumble in each of those wins, marking the first turnovers of his career.

The Raiders have agreed to terms with Carter, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Advice: In 2022, his lone season with the Chargers, Carter caught 46 passes (on 65 targets) for 538 yards and three touchdowns. With Las Vegas, Carter -- who turns 30 next month -- is slated to give the team added depth at wide receiver behind Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers and Hunter Renfrow, while also providing the Raiders with utility as both a kickoff or punt return option.
