Miami Dolphins Acquire QB Josh Rosen From Arizona Cardinals
MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The Miami Dolphins have a quarterback.
Miami traded with the Arizona Cardinals to acquire QB Josh Rosen. The Cards got a second-round choice this year, No. 62 overall, and a fifth-round pick in 2020.
It's no secret that the Miami Dolphins were in the market for a long-term solution at quarterback.
Following a disastrous rookie season with the Arizona Cardinals, Rsen may have fallen out of favor in Arizona.
Rosen threw for just 2,278 yards in 14 games as a rookie, completing 55.2 percent of his passes while tossing 11 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.
He was also sacked 45 times, which was seventh-most in the league. It's worth noting that every quarterback ahead of Rosen on the sacked list played a full 16 game schedule.
Rosen is owed just $6.23 million over the next three years (not including his guaranteed annual signing bonus payout of $2.7 million).
With the 78th pick in the NFL Draft, the Dolphins selected Michael Deiter, Center from Wisconsin.
The second and third rounds took place on Friday while rounds four through seven are Saturday beginning at 2 p.m.
