Josh Rosen will be a one-and-done with a second NFL team. The Dolphins will release the third-year quarterback, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com tweets.
Miami, which acquired Rosen in a 2019 trade from Arizona, attempted to ship the former top-10 pick out in another trade. But after no such deal emerged, the Dolphins will send the ex-UCLA star to the waiver wire.
Rosen has not impressed as an NFL quarterback, although he has certainly not been presented with great developmental environments. The 2018 No. 10 overall pick struggled for both the Cardinals — who ranked last in scoring and total offense in 2018 — and the Dolphins, who had perhaps the league’s worst roster last year. Rosen took over for Ryan Fitzpatrick in Week 2 and started the next three games. But Brian Flores benched him and stuck with Fitzpatrick the rest of the way.
The fourth quarterback selected in 2018’s five-QB first round, Rosen owns a career 54.8% completion rate and a ghastly 4.4 adjusted yards per attempt figure. He has thrown 12 touchdown passes and 19 interceptions in 20 career games (16 starts).
The Dolphins reunited Fitzpatrick with OC Chan Gailey this offseason and drafted Tua Tagovailoa fifth overall, executing the latter move after eyeing the Alabama standout for over a year. For the time being, the Dolphins will go with Fitz — who will turn 38 by season’s end — and Tagovailoa, who is 10 months out from a severe hip injury. The Dolphins have brought in former backup Jake Rudock multiple times in recent weeks but have not signed him.
Two years and a mostly guaranteed $3.63MM remain on Rosen’s rookie deal. The Dolphins already paid Rosen a $1.4MM bonus earlier in camp, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com tweets.
ah, trade interest
Hmm, yes. Indeed.
Would be funny if he signed with the jets. Then they could move Flacco,to the PUP list for six weeks
Not a bad idea
I wouldn’t mind seeing the Lions taking a flier on this kid.
Yes for sure.
Yes, the Lions, for sure. This kid with that arm could be great in the right place with the right coach(es). Get a real head coach with some real coordinators.
So… not the lions lol
At least he can choose where he plays next. I bet he’d be comfortable backing up, but on a stable franchise.
Not necessarily. All teams will have the chance to claim him on waivers before Rosen becomes a free agent.
If I’m a GM I don’t want a player who would be comfortable being a backup at the tender age of 23.
That’s a bit broad. You wouldn’t want Aaron Rodgers or Kurt Warner?
Stop giving this bust chances.
To be fair to Rosen, it’s more like they’re taking away chances than handing them out.
9ers baby!
Come be the Giants back up
Are you guys desperate? As a Cowboys fan I’d be ok with him going to the Giants.
Heck, I’d say he’s more than keeping up with the Jones’. Rosen under center for the season.
Unfortunately, Jones looks like he could be legit.
Why not take one more flier. He needs reps to see what he can do. Bring him up as a backup and see what you have.
Tampa Bay baby…
Josh Rosen can be back up and learn from the Goat himself Tom Brady. Would have an excellent attacking coach in Bruce Arians. Then when Brady retires would have the chance to inherit a loaded offence.
This makes so much sense
But for the fact he can’t play, is soft and wasn’t very good in college either….
When Josh was drafted Byron Leftwich was the O-Cord in Arizona. He is now the O-Cord in Tampa. Right now he could be determining his possible future as a Head Coach on his evaluation of Josh Rosen VS Blaine Gabbert.
Yeah Josh……
This kid already throws too many interceptions. He’d break interception records under an Arians offense.
I haven’t seen him play, is he worse than Mason Rudolph?
No way he’s worse than Hodges.
worse than rudolph for sure
how much did he pay you to say that?
But not as good as kicks to the groin.
He has to be grateful to be done with that tire fire of an organization
Lol bummer for us
Rosen is garbage. Unfortunately he can’t read a defensive scheme. no team would trade anything as they knew he wasn’t going to be carried as a 3.
Go to a QB school!
Bears need a 3rd QB he would be perfect in case next year isn’t like this one
Pass that torch from Trubisky to Rosen…. that’ll surely get Ryan Pace fired, right?
Rosen is still young and could have a decent career if he can connect with the right organization. Some players are late bloomers. Jim Plunkett for example really struggled early in his career (posted passer ratings of 45.7 and 39.7 with the Patriots) but matured and became a solid starter once he joined the Raiders.
Wow….Plunkett!!! Your as old as me!!
When youth is your only “skill”, it’s time to move on….
He has a big arm. He doesn’t do a good enough job of reading defense.
dare I say what some are thinking?
oh I dare … I dare!
XFL
Pittsburg, Minnesota, Tampa, Oakland, Indy even, sit him behind a real veteran and then see what he can do with real teammates
No. Please, just no! I do not want Rosen in Las Vegas. We already have a 3rd string QB who is terrible. They don’t need a more expensive version of the same lemon.
The fact that you think Rosen and Peterman are the same player (or that they’re expensive) is a reason that I know you don’t work for a sports team.
I know they’re not precisely the same. Neither are good though, so what’s it matter? Lemons. If you’re going to tell me Rosen could be something, I’ll also feel safe in assuming you don’t work for a sports team, too.
If I’m Rosen and end up passing through waivers, I take a league minimum deal to go to KC to work with Andy Reid.
I can’t understand anyone having any interest in Rosen, and why he’s being connected to teams. He’s thrown 19 INTs to 12 TDs. He’s not good.
