The rumors of Rosen being traded first started when former head coach of Texas Tech took the coaching job for the Cardinals. Why then? Back In October, when Kingsbury was still a coach at the collegiate level, he said that given the chance, he’d take Murray with the first overall pick.
Again, this was before he had any intention of being a NFL coach, especially for the Cards, so why would he trade what’s probably the main building block to the franchise? Let’s face it, Rosen didn’t have the best year as he finished his rookie season with 11 touchdowns and 14 interceptions to go along with 2,278 yards.
