"We haven't [decided what we're going to do with the top pick]. We haven't. We're a long ways from that," Kingsbury said. "You know, coaches on the road, scouts from the road, private workouts, pro days. And we won't even discuss until next week and try to fill our board and go from there." |

Kingsbury clarified that they have spoken and the soon-to-be-second-year quarterback knows he's thought highly of and, likely most importantly, that no matter what happens, it's simply the way of the NFL. "Yeah, I've talked to Josh and he understands it's a business and what all goes with the first pick and what's going on," the coach said. So, it's not out of the question that Rosen could be a Cardinal next season, but the only clarity offered by Kingsbury is that nothing is out of the question. "Yeah, I do [think Rosen could remain with the team]. I do," Kingsbury said. "I mean, when you have the first pick, anything can happen, as you know, but you know, he's a talented player, and we're very high on him and that hasn't changed." |
Not a good idea. Besides the uneasy locker room atmosphere that would cause, when they tried trading Rosen later it would be in greater desperation less value.
Sorry TMS...very unlikely. :)
That kind of waffling talk , almost guarantees hes not in their plans next year.
To the contrary, I think they not only should trade him, but they need to trade him before the draft. Two reasons: 1. If they wait til after they’ve take Murray, everyone will know their desperation to recoup value for him. 2. If they wait til after or very close to the draft, teams will have focused on draftable qb’s or ones they’ve just taken, and there will be less interest in and roster space for him.
Cousins wasn't drafted in the first round, and given the starting job the year before Bob arrived either.
Keeping Rosen, if they pick a QB is locker room caustic. Everybody here must remember what happened when Kurt Warner was hired to "tutor" Eli Manning ....
Manning paced the sideline like a caged lion and Kurt eventually melted down, having to look over his shoulder (he's still bitter 15 years later).
The Cards would be completely out-of-their-minds to do this !
Lol
If they pick a QB, has them "over a barrel". A the end-of-the-day Rosen might go for a #3. Who would have thought a year ago, when many were ready to crown him as a "franchise QB" - that it would come to this !

I agree trade asap but if they discuss a Rosen trade with you....you know they are taking Murray #1. So it's not like teams will give full value. Once they offer up.rosen it's oh I see you're taking murray

That's true. His value at that point will depend on the number of teams interested and the best deals being offered for the Cards to sift through..
Maybe, but a smart team won’t give up a top 20 pick for him. The Cardinals would obviously have to move him if they take Murray.
The Cards are screwed, either way.
(Cue) ....
As the world famous philosopher (the great WC Fields) was famous for saying - "never give a sucker an even break"
The only way they’re getting anything close to value is if multiple teams get in a bidding war for Rosen or if a team in the playoff hunt loses a QB mid-season.

However, if there are multiple teams interested in Rosen his value will increase. All it takes is one team to offer more to ensure they get him.

And I see Will just said this in the post right above mine.
The problem is the older that tape gets the more his value goes down. The Colts reportedly turned down a 2nd round pick for Jacoby Brissett last year. No one would offer that this year for Brissett.
Exactly. I don't understand why people can't grasp this. If the Patriots want Rosen and say, we'll give you the 32 pick for Rosen, the baseline is now a pick higher than that. We can protest all we want on this board, but that is just a fact.
And, before people go off saying BB won't do that, I would not be so sure. If he thinks Rosen is spectacular, he'll do it to get the guy he believes is the QB of the future. And that means we will have to offer the 17 pick. Maybe the 17 pick for Rosen and another pick coming back, but immediately our second (unless we often a sweetener) and our third cease to get it done.
I really hope people start understanding this sooner than later.

They don't have to understand it. It's true whether they do or not. They would be better informed fans if they did however. It's like blaming higher ticket prices at Yankee games because they gave ARod a lot of money. ARod's salary didn't dictate ticket prices, demand did. Same thing here. You can bet if two or more teams want Rosen they will drive the price up. I think Rosen goes for at least a second, maybe a low first. I could see the Pats doing that. So then the Giants would need to beat it, with a second plus something else, or their #17.

I think you are dead on. If I were a betting man, the Pats are going to offer the 32 pick for Rosen. So, I agree, that it is going to take the 17 pick to get it done. As I said in my earlier post, it may not be a straight one for one swap. Maybe it is the 17 pick for Rosen and the AZ 3rd (65 or wherever it is). People can say that they want Rosen and the 33 in that instance, but something tells me that the Cards would prefer 32 for Rosen straight up rather than 17 for Rosen and 33. They may be ok with parting for Rosen and 65, though.
My take as well. I don’t think Murray will be there but there’s a chance one of them will make it to 6. I don’t see any alarming red flags at all with either qb. Murray has the size issues but he’s a ridiculous talent. Haskins is the polished prolific guy. Both legit. If one is there and the giants consider him a top flight qb prospect, not Andrew luck quality but close enough, it’s time to pull the trigger. Even if you love Eli and think he’s got years left, it’s time to address the position as long as everything fits. Last year I get, with a “99” type prospect sitting there in Barkley, but that guy ain’t making it to 6 this year.
Not physically, but image-wise. His value is already diminished, never-mind that from a fair-minded point of view, he had a lousy line blocking for him.
Quarterback needy teams smell "blood in the water", they will wait till the Cards tip their hand - then they'll strike; including as mentioned, the "hooded one" from the Pats.
No doubt, he had a great ONE year. Was it just a flash, or is he for real - that is what every GM who is considering him is wondering.

You’re basing your entire argument off of a fictional Rosen market.
There’s no evidence any team has offered anything for Rosen at this point.
Exactly
Yep or starting to reek of desperation for a trade down partner if keeping Rosen and shopping the pick was the plan all along
No doubt, he had a great ONE year. Was it just a flash, or is he for real - that is what every GM who is considering him is wondering.
Everything comes with a risk. Who knows. Haskins is a good Looking prospect.

We’re all doing the same thing. It’s nonsense to think that a third is going to get a trade done, as if you’re playing in Madden.

... for Jenny Craig.
There’s no evidence any team has offered anything for Rosen at this point.
A few weeks ago I read (don't recall where) that multiple teams had contacted AZ regarding Rosen's availability and were told that Rosen was not on the market. Given that, there can't be any "evidence" that teams are offering anything just yet.
Additionally, NFL GMs and coaches can't publicly discuss players currently under contract with other teams, which is why no reporter is going to ask anyone associated with the team that they cover about Rosen.
It simply stands to reason that unless Rosen is universally considered to be damaged goods due to an injury, attitude or whatever, that a player with his talent, in a QB-driven league, is going to generate interest from MULTIPLE teams. And as others have already stated in this thread and almost every other Rosen thread, when multiple teams are bidding on a player, the player will be traded at or above market value.
I've used the analogy before, but if you absolutely had to sell your house ASAP and you had only one bidder, then yes, you could be forced to take a below-market offer. But if you had multiple bidders and they all wanted your house, would anyone actually think that all the bidders had you over a barrel?
I don’t think we deal the 17th pick for Rosen...if those teams don’t want to part with a first rounder, we could be in the game if we think he’s worth #37. The asshats say no interest so far...we’ll see...
Guy tells me we pass...
I think Murray slides down the draft board if Arizona doesn't take him.
I think Murray slides down the draft board if Arizona doesn't take him.
yea that is what i am getting at in my post just above. I am not saying I think Murray will slide, but there is a non-zero chance that the Giants could have their choice of Murray and Haskins at 6.
It's the corollary of trading up. If you have to give up too much to trade up, you stay put. The player may be one you want, but not at too much cost.
Trading Rosen for low value is giving up picks. Murray and a decent trade may be worth it. Murray and a crappy trade may not be worth it. That's a decision to be made.
