In a surprising move, the Miami Dolphins have released quarterback Josh Rosen instead of working out a trade for him.
It marks the second time a team has jettisoned Rosen over the past 17 months and puts a cap on an unsuccessful tenure in Miami. The Dolphins are admitting a mistake in trading for Rosen by giving up on him a year later. It also gives Rosen a fresh start and a rare third chance to salvage his NFL career.
Miami head coach Brian Flores called Rosen "immensely talented," but noted that not every trade or draft pick pans out as expected.
