According to reports, the Miami Dolphins are actively looking to trade quarterback Josh Rosen.

If this does happen, Rosen would be joining his third team in as many years.

Once a top prospect, Rosen was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals with the 10th overall pick in the 2018 draft. After a terrible season behind a miserable offensive line, Rosen was traded to the Dolphins after the new coaching staff decided to move on from him and draft quarterback Kyler Murray with the No. 1 pick in the 2019 draft.

Rosen faced a similar situation in Miami, playing with a lack of offensive weapons and protection for a Miami team that was clearly looking to draft a top quarterback in the 2020 draft. Miami drafted Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa with the No. 5 pick in the 2020 draft, who is going to sit and learn from veteran Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick this year.

This once again makes Rosen dispensable.

Still only 23 years old, Rosen was touted as an excellent prospect with a high football IQ coming out of UCLA. Joining the right team and coaching staff could enable Rosen to bounce back and have a worthwhile career, as long as he finally lands in the right situation where he is afforded stability and the ability to develop under the right guidance.
