The Arizona Cardinals begin their offseason workout program in one week. Don’t expect quarterback Josh Rosen to participate, according to the Arizona Republic’s Bob McManaman.
First of all, he doesn’t have to because in accordance with the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement, the first round of offseason team workouts are strictly voluntary. Secondly, if the Cardinals are actively trying to trade the second-year pro, they may not particularly want Rosen around for some obvious reasons.
One: They don’t want to risk the chance of him getting hurt, especially if they’re trying to draw a first-round draft pick for his services. And two: Think about how uneasy it could get for everybody if Rosen is exposed to a horde of reporters right now.
The Cardinals are said to be shopping Rosen because they want to use the No. 1 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft on Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray.
According to reports, the Giants, Patriots and Chargers have expressed interest, with one team said to have offered up a second-round pick for Rosen.
SNY’s Ralph Vacchiano reports the Giants are serious about looking at Rosen as Eli Manning’s successor.
(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.
John Mara (and his dad) made this vow to Giants fans 19 years ago: Has he broken it with Eli Manning?
New York Giants co-owner John Mara vowed not to be ruled by sentimentality like his father, Wellington Mara.
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 deal Rosen, especially after head coach Kliff Kingsbury praised the second-year quarterback last 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.”
