The Miami Dolphins have traded for quarterback Josh Rosen, acquiring the Arizona Cardinals’ 2018 tenth-overall draft choice. The move comes a day after Arizona selected quarterback Kyler Murray with the first-overall pick, ending the Rosen era in Arizona after almost exactly one year.
The Dolphins, who traded starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill to the Tennessee Titans this offseason and signed Ryan Fitzpatrick to a two-year free agent contract, are at the beginning phases of a complete franchise rebuild. The team is thought to be looking toward 2020 to draft a new “franchise” quarterback, but being able to add Rosen, who despite a poor 2018 season still was a first-round, top-ten pick for a season, gives them an extra chance at finding their next quarterback.
