Report: Josh Rosen to Take Part in Cardinals OTAs Despite Trade Rumors

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen will reportedly participate in the team's offseason program despite being involved in trade rumors ahead of the 2019 NFL draft.

On Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Rosen is expected to report when the Cards begin their workout program Monday.

Arizona, which will pick first overall April 25, has been heavily linked to Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Kyler Murray, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner.

Murray is a 1/6 favorite to get chosen by the Cardinals, per OddsChecker. He's followed by Ohio State Buckeyes defensive end Nick Bosa (4/1), Alabama Crimson Tide defensive lineman Quinnen Williams (14/1), Buckeyes quarterback Dwayne Haskins (16/1) and Kentucky Wildcats outside linebacker Josh Allen (25/1).

New Arizona head coach Kliff Kingsbury is a fan of the former Sooners standout, saying in October he'd take him first overall if he had the opportunity:

The Cards selected Rosen with the No. 10 pick in the 2018 draft, but he struggled as a rookie.

He completed 55.2 percent of his throws for 2,278 yards with 11 touchdowns and 14 interceptions across 14 appearances. He ranked last of 33 quarterbacks in ESPN's Total QBR, while Pro Football Focus graded him as the NFL's No. 37 QB.

While logic would dictate the Cardinals could move Rosen if they draft Murray, Schefter noted there haven't been any trade talks so far:

His status should become more clear following the draft, but for now, Rosen is still penciled in as the team's starting quarterback for 2019.
