QB Desmond Ridder embracing Raiders opportunity

HENDERSON, Nev. -- Desmond Ridder, already on his third team in less than a year, choked up and fought back tears inside the Las Vegas Raiders' locker room Wednesday afternoon.

"Daddy, where are you going?'" Ridder recounted her asking, as his eyes glistened.

"I'm like, 'Got to go to Vegas.'"
