The Miami Dolphins reportedly are closing in on acquiring their quarterback of the future.
The Arizona Cardinals supposedly made QB Josh Rosen available for trade and all but confirmed they were moving on from the 22-year-old when they drafted Kyler Murray with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. The Dolphins emerged as a front-runner for Rosen as the Day 1 of the draft approached, and it might not be long until he’s in South Beach.
If this truly is the deal in place, it’s a massive win for Miami. Giving up a second-round selection for the 10th overall pick from a year ago is a steal. If the Dolphins pull it off, they’ll look even smarter for hanging onto their first-round pick and not using it on a quarterback. Miami addressed another major needed when it grabbed Christian Wilkins, one of the best defensive prospects in this year’s class, at No. 13 overall.
We’re not saying Rosen is the next Dan Marino, but his ceiling suggests he could be the best quarterback the Dolphins have had in the past decade-plus.
