Miami receiving trade calls for Josh Rosen

The Miami Dolphins were quick to trade for Josh Rosen in 2019. Rosen a former first round quarterback from 2018 with the Arizona Cardinals. 

The Cardinals found something wrong with Rosen as they quickly gave up on him for Kyler Murray. The Dolphins has Rosen split time with veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick in 2019.

The former Pac-12 quarterback is 3-13 as an NFL starter. Over his two years, Rosen has thrown for 2845 yards, 12 touchdowns and 19 Interceptions, while completing a poor 54.8% of his passes. 

The Thing about quarterbacks is it's all about fit. Rosen, like Mike White, Ryan Finley, and Jalen Hurts were all drafted to the wrong team. It happens, hopefully Rosen is not too far gone. Being drafted by the wrong team can ruin a player for their entire career.

Cole McCauley of Clutch Points wrote about Rosen "If Rosen does end up staying in Miami, he will have to battle for the starting job once again against veteran signal-caller Ryan Fitzpatrick who led the team in both passing and rushing last season. Things became even more difficult for Rosen this offseason when the Dolphins drafted Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa fifth overall in the recent NFL Draft as he is expected to be the future of the franchise."

Apparently teams have been contacting the Dolphins about Rosen. One might wonder why When Joe Flacco and Cam Newton are still looking for work. The answer is salary. Most teams have their starter and if they want to bring in Rosen, they could be getting the top quarterback of the 2018 draft. 

Currently only two teams really stick out as possible trade candidates for Rosen. The New England Patriots whom are about to embark on a quarterback competition between Jarrett Stidham and Brian Hoyer.

The other is the Jaguars whom have Minshew as the man. The Jaguars currently have the biggest risk at the position. So it would not be surprising if they were the ones trying to acquire the young quarterback.

The Dolphins are going to want to recoup something for Rosen, so they have all the time in the world to make the trade.  The real question is being a trade would make three teams in three years, so what is Rosen really worth?
