After months of speculation about the quarterback position in 2023, we appear to finally have some clarity about what it will look like. There could still be potential changes and surprises ahead, but the Falcons now have their young potential starter in Desmond Ridder, and they’ve added the veteran that seems likely to compete with him this summer.
That would be Taylor Heinicke, the 29-year-old Atlanta native who started 24 games for the Washington Commanders over the past two seasons.
The #Falcons are signing former #Commanders QB Taylor Heinicke, per me and @MikeGarafolo.
