If the Arizona Cardinals put quarterback Josh Rosen on the trade market, expect the Giants to be interested.
According to a report from Ralph Vacchiano of SNY, the Cardinals are serious about taking Oklahoma Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray with the No. 1 overall pick and then flipping Rosen to the highest bidder:
(The Giants) have certainly discussed the possibility internally, one source said, though those talks were extremely preliminary. They don’t even seem sure at the moment whether they’d prefer Rosen - the 10th overall pick a year ago -- to the quarterbacks in this year’s draft. Mostly, they are in a wait-and-see mode to see if the Cardinals do decide to trade Rosen and what their asking price might be.

If the Giants are not enamored by top prospects such as Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins, Duke’s Daniel Jones or Missouri’s Drew Lock, Rosen would make plenty of sense as a trade target.
In all likelihood, the Cardinals will ask for some sort of package that includes either pick No. 17, pick No. 37 or pick No. 95.
After a relatively disastrous rookie season that saw Rosen complete just 55.2 percent of his passes for 2,278 yards with 11 touchdowns and 14 interceptions, he likely would benefit from sitting a season behind Eli Manning and developing in head coach Pat Shurmur’s system.
Trading for Rosen would allow Giants general manager Dave Gettleman to replicate the Kansas City Chiefs model of developing a young quarterback behind a veteran while also freeing up the No. 6 pick to take the best player available.
However, the Cardinals might not even deal Rosen, especially after head coach Kliff Kingsbury praised the second-year quarterback this week.
“People have said a lot of things, that are misconceptions,” Kingsbury told reporters in Phoenix, when asked about a potential Rosen trade. “I always thought watching him at UCLA that he played his best football in a spread system, which has some similarities to what we do,” Kingsbury said. “He’s a tremendous thinker. He’s very cerebral and can throw it with anybody. We take a lot of pride in building a system around the quarterback, so for someone to say that he doesn’t fit our system just doesn’t make sense.”
