Cardinals’ Josh Rosen To Show For Workouts

Despite being the subject of trade rumors, Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen is expected to report to and participate in the start of the team’s offseason workout program on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (on Twitter) hears. Other players rumored to be on the block have declined to report to workouts this offseason, but Rosen is apparently taking a business-as-usual approach. 

The Cardinals, armed with the No. 1 overall pick, are rumored to be smitten with Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray. However, the Cardinals are still exploring other top prospects such as Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa and Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, so nothing is set in stone. It’s also possible the Cardinals could draft Murray and keep Rosen until they find a suitable deal for the UCLA product.

Statistically, Rosen had a lousy rookie year, but the Cardinals traded up from No. 15 to land him at No. 10 for a reason. Just one year ago, Rosen was considered to be one of the best QB prospects in the country, and the Cardinals are unlikely to give him away in a trade. If the Giants or other interested teams want to acquire him, it could cost them some significant draft capital.
