Raiders | Las Vegas adding Theo Riddick Sat Aug 22, 09:56 PM
Free-agent RB Theo Riddick (Broncos) is signing a one-year deal with the Las Vegas Raiders Saturday, Aug. 22, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Don't look at this as a threat to Josh Jacobs pass catching upside. Riddick will still have trouble making the team ahead of Jalen Richard and Devontae Booker. This could be a sign that the team is unhappy with Booker. |

Broncos | Theo Riddick now healthy Fri Mar 6, 12:20 PM
Denver Broncos RB Theo Riddick, a pending free agent, has been medically cleared after missing the entire 2019 season with a shoulder injury suffered in the preseason. He isn't expected back with the Broncos and will test the market.
| Footballguys view: Riddick was running out of gas with the Lions and never got to see the field for the Broncos last year. There may not be much left to his game and he could find difficulty in finding a new team to go to. |

Broncos | Theo Riddick leaning on resume Fri Feb 14, 01:17 PM
Denver Broncos RB Theo Riddick (shoulder), a pending free agent, will rely on his resume in free agency after failing to play a regular-season snap in 2019 due to a preseason shoulder injury. 'Hopefully my resume speaks for itself and we go from there,' Riddick said. 'I know I'll be somewhere. ... You have to be open to everything and what (stinks) the most is that I'm a committed person and I wanted to show Broncos fans what I had and what I could do for this team and unfortunately, it didn't work out. Hopefully, the coaches still think highly of me and give me another shot.'
| Footballguys view: Riddick didn't look like himself in 2018 when he was with the Lions. Then he signs with the Broncos for a fresh start and ends up missing the entire season due to injury. There is likely a team out there that will sign him but don't expect much if he does see the field. |

Denver Broncos QB Drew Lock (thumb), RB Theo Riddick (shoulder) and TE Jake Butt (knee) were officially placed on the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Sept. 2.
| Footballguys view: Lock is the 2019 second-round pick who could be the future franchise quarterback of the Broncos. Riddick could be the team's leading pass-catching back when healthy. Butt has only played in three games during his two seasons with the Broncos and is still dealing with the knee injury that cost him most of the 2018 season. |

Denver Broncos RB Theo Riddick (shoulder) will be placed on the Reserve/Injured list and miss at least the first eight games of 2019 with a fractured shoulder, general manager John Elway said Saturday, Aug. 31.
| Footballguys view: He won't be a threat to Phillip Lindsay or Royce Freeman's value until November. Riddick isn't worth carrying in any format without an injured reserve slot. |

| Footballguys view: Phillip Lindsay could be a better play to open the season with more PPR potential while Riddick is sidelined. |

Broncos | More on Theo Riddick's deal Sat Aug 3, 03:22 PM
Updating a previous report, Denver Broncos RB Theo Riddick signed a one-year contract with the Broncos worth $2.5 million. The deal also includes $1 million in guaranteed money and could be worth as much as $3.3 million with incentives.
| Footballguys view: Riddick is a sure thing to make the roster with this contract, and Devontae Booker is likely gone soon enough. This takes the edge off of Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman's upside and turns this into a three-headed backfield. |

Broncos | Theo Riddick signs Sat Aug 3, 02:57 AM
The Denver Broncos signed free-agent RB Theo Riddick (Lions) to a one-year deal on Friday, Aug. 2, according to 9News.com's Mike Klis.
| Footballguys view: Riddick is a pass-catching back the Broncos really wanted. That means Devontae Booker may be on his way out as the No. 3 back for the team. Riddick catches around 60 passes per year, and that's something he could do for the Broncos. This signing is a bit of bad news for Phillip Lindsay as some reports indicated the team would use him more as a receiver out of the backfield this year (in addition to him being the lead back in a RBBC with Royce Freeman). Adjust your expectations for this now three-headed backfield accordingly. |

Broncos | Theo Riddick appear Denver-bound Thu Aug 1, 01:39 PM
Free-agent RB Theo Riddick is expected to sign with the Denver Broncos later this week, according to a source Thursday, Aug. 1.
| Footballguys view: Riddick is there to be the team's pass-catching back. That's what he does and he rarely gets carries. The addition of Riddick puts the future of Devontae Booker in doubt. Royce Freeman and Phillip Lindsay are likely to work in a RBBC, splitting touches with Riddick when it comes to receptions out of the backfield. |

Free-agent RB Theo Riddick (Lions) is scheduled to meet with the New Orleans Saints, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Riddick would revive the Darren Sproles role in the Saints backfield. It might take some snaps/targets away from Alvin Kamara, but with Mark Ingram gone, even with Latavius Murray replacing Ingram, the Saints are poised to give Kamara all he can handle. It would make Riddick a waiver wire speed dial back if Kamara goes down. |

Lions | Theo Riddick released Sat Jul 27, 09:42 AM
The Detroit Lions released RB Theo Riddick Saturday, July 27. The move frees up $3.66 million in salary cap space and leaves $962,500 in dead cap.
| Footballguys view: The writing had been on the wall for some time. The Lions move on from their pass-catching back and that's a good sign for starter Kerryon Johnson. He's a more than capable receiver and should be in for an even larger role with Riddick elsewhere. Riddick is a seasoned veteran and should find a new team quickly. |

Lions | Theo Riddick not a lock to stick? Thu Jun 13, 05:41 PM
Detroit Lions RB Theo Riddick is not guaranteed to make the team out of training camp, in the opinion of the Detroit Free Press' Dave Birkett.
| Footballguys view: The Lions have always used Riddick as their pass-catching back. That could change if starter Kerryon Johnson is utilized more in the passing game. With C.J. Anderson to back up Johnson, the team may decide to move on from Riddick. The Lions would save $3.6 million on the cap if they let Riddick go. Riddick is in the final year of his contract and he's on the books for $4.6 million. |

Detroit Lions RB Theo Riddick has lined up in the slot 18 times since the team traded WR Golden Tate, which leads all running backs since Week 9.
