Cardinals draft Kyler Murray: What's next for QB Josh Rosen? Published: Apr 25, 2019 at 01:24 PM Digital Content Editor Nearly one year to the day when he declared to the nation that "nine mistakes were made ahead of" , might want to up that number to 10. The kicked off the 2019 by selecting a quarterback in the top 10 for the second year in a row, choosing Oklahoma signal-caller first overall. The move almost certainly heralds the end of the Rosen era in Arizona, which lasted le s than one year after the Cards traded up to select the UCLA QB 10th overall in 2018. Rosen was underwhelming in his rookie year, but so were the 3-13 . While fellow rookies and stood out and went to the postseason, Rosen struggled behind a makeshift offensive line, completing 55 percent of his Mike Piazza Jersey pa ses and throwing 14 picks to 11 touchdowns. Out went Steve Wilks and in came Kliff Kingsbury, ringing in a new regime that no longer sees Rosen as its franchise quarterback. So what does Arizona do with Rosen now? The QB has three years and a fifth-year option left on his rookie deal at an AAV of $4.4 million (31st among QBs). Will they trade him? When? Keep him? For how long? There are a lot of options on the table for Pedro Martinez Jersey Kingsbury and general manager Steve Keim. 1. Trade him ASAP: The Murray-to- rumors have dominated the pre-draftmosphere since the NFL . If the don't have trade offers ready to go for Rosen at this point, then they haven't done their due diligence. The Cards can seek to ship Rosen to a QB-needy or -curious team that has not yet not selected in the first round. Rosen has reportedly garnered second- to third-round compensation in trade talks, making him an attractive, cheaper option than drafting a first-round QB, albeit with one year of wear and tear on his treads. Potential suitors here include ... well, nearly every team, but most likely the , , , and . However, Arizona's leverage to get rid of Rosen here is the lowest it's ever been. Why would inquiring suitors trade a second- or third-round pick for Rosen, his reported max value, when it's obvious the want nothing to do with the QB going forward? *UPDATE: *The first round came and went and Rosen was still on the . After Murray was drafted, two teams seen as landing spots for Rosen drafted quarterbacks -- the picked at No. 6 and the Amed Rosario Jersey snagged at No. 15. Lock fell out of the first round. 2. Wait for end of first round:If the want to take a night to celebrate their new normal and let the dust settle on what was an unpredictable first round, then that's an option as well. Three quarterbacks were selected in this year's first round (Murray, Jones, Haskins). By Friday morning, demand for a young QB will remain the same, but the supply will have decreased by three prospects. One or two of the aforementioned organizations could cough up a little more compensation after sleeping on it. Then you have a bidding war. 3. Keep him until training camp, hope for QB injuries elsewhere: Wait, you say, wouldn't this make things ? Perhaps, holding onto Rosen through the summer would complicate relationships in the ' facility. But how often would Rosen and Murray be in the building together? Voluntary organized team activities begin May 20 and last 10 days over three weeks, and then there's a three-day mandatory minicamp starting on June 11. Meanwhile, the can wait for another starting quarterback elsewhere to sustain an injury and trade Rosen to a desperate team then. This Pete Alonso Jersey was the strategy employed by the after they drafted second overall in the 2016 draft. entered the offseason as the club's presumptive starter, but then Wentz impre sed and quarterback went down with a season-ending knee injury. Philly shipped Bradford to Minnesota for a 2017 first-round pick (Derek Barnett) and 2018 fourth-round pick (Josh Sweat). Of course, Bradford wasn't once considered Philly's QB of the future or drafted by the in the first round just one year prior, as is the case with Rosen. But there's a blueprint for the to be patient, stomach a melodramatic offseason and reap the first-round-plus compensation they think Rosen deserves. When I penned this the night before the draft, this seemed like an unlikely scenario. But as the hours go by and as Rosen remains on Arizona's roster, a lengthy standoff between potential suitors and the seems more inevitable. Keim sounded in his post-draft interviews like he was comfortable keeping both QBs on the roster long-term. Keim told NFL Network's Steve Wyche late on Thursday night that he was "excited about both of these young men," meaning Murray Rosen. He then cited "attrition" and injuries as a reason to "create depth" at the QB Jason Vargas Jersey position. Was Keim's hardball pitch convincing? Does the Cards GM intend to keep two first-round QBs on the roster at the same time? Do teams believe him? We'll soon find out ... or not. Keim is preaching patience. "Bottom line is Josh is a really good football player," Keim concluded. "We're not going to get in the busine s of letting good football players walk out of here."
