Denver Broncos have made an intriguing move ahead of their rookie minicamp, which kicks off on May 7th. Following the withdrawal of quarterback Desmond Ridder, who had previously played for the Atlanta Falcons and Arizona Cardinals, the Broncos have signed Ian Book, formerly with the New Orleans Saints and Philadelphia Eagles. Book, drafted by Sean Payton when he was with the Saints, has limited experience in the NFL but reunites with his mentor as he looks to carve out a spot on the roster.

Ridder, who had spent time as a starter in Atlanta, also had stints with the Raiders and Cardinals but has seen mixed results throughout his career. Book's struggle for playing time will be compounded by stiff competition from other quarterbacks like Bo Nix and Jarrett Stidham, making this minicamp crucial for showcasing their abilities.
