Josh Rosen Trade Rumors: Dolphins Pursuing QB, 'Target Price' Is 2nd-Round Pick

The Miami Dolphins are reportedly a team to watch on the Josh Rosen trade front entering Day 2 of the 2019 NFL draft Friday.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Dolphins and Arizona Cardinals have held talks involving Rosen, and Miami "has been doing work on Rosen for weeks."

Rapoport added the "likely target price" for any team inquiring about Rosen is a second-round draft pick and a deal could happen when the draft resumes on Friday night.ย 

Rosen, who was taken 10th overall last year and started 13 games, is likely on the trade block after Arizona selected Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray first overall Thursday.

Miami could be an ideal landing spot for the 22-year-old. Veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick is currently penciled in as the starter, with the inexperienced Jakeย Rudockย and Lukeย Falkย behind him.

Rosenย went 3-10 as a starter last season and completed 55.2 percent of his passes for 2,278 yards, 11 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.

ESPN's Adamย Schefterย noted:

New York took Duke quarterback Daniel Jones sixth overall, which eliminated a potentialย Rosenย destination, per ESPN's Jeffย Darlington:

Miami's second-round pick is 48th overall, and Arizona might consider parting withย Rosenย for it. The Cardinals already pick 33rd overall, and acquiring another second would allow them to address needs at offensive line, defensive line, wide receiver or cornerback.

Considering the dwindling list of potentialย Rosenย suitors, though, Arizona may have to settle for Miami's third-round pick at No. 78 overall.ย That would represent incredible value for the Dolphins, especially since they could exercise a fifth-year option inย Rosen's contract as a former first-round pick, giving another year to evaluate and develop him.

At a certain point, though, it may be more worth it for Arizona to keepย Rosenย than trade himโ€”however much he might dislike thatโ€”since he would be a fallback option should Murray flop or get injured.
