Releasing Ridder is a sensible roster move given Jordan Love's establishment as starter. Multiple outlets report the Packers prioritized upgrading the backup position with Tyrod Taylor. Love's continued rise signals confidence in the starter, reducing Ridder's organizational value. Fans view this as a necessary depth chart reset after a disappointing experiment. Green Bay can now focus on developing or acquiring a more reliable backup option.
