Adam Schefter on @MutCallahan says the Cardinals do not have a deal in place to trade Josh Rosen and have not spoken to the Patriots this offseason about a potential trade. They have talked to only two teams — Dolphins and Giants.
Here's hoping we go all defense in the first round and #37 for Rosen. Sign me up.
the report that Snyder is taking over the warroom for the draft with the intention of getting ahead of the Giants for Daniel Jones. Now, that could be smoke on their part to force the Gmen to grab Jones at 6 or it could be more teams are interested in Jones than many here will believe.
but I believe JT and JonC in that the Giants are not interested. Someone is going to get a deal.
That said...
#6: Josh Allen
#17: Trade back with Houston for for #23 and #55. Send 55 to AZ for Rosen
#23: BPA (Preferably OL or Defense)
#37: BPA (Preferably OL or Defense)

we would have essentially 4 first round picks from the last two drafts.
Six first round picks in the last three drafts (including Engram and Peppers)!
It’s more than just accumulating high draft picks in consecutive drafts. It’s acquiring one of the best prospects to come out in years (Barkley), a potential franchise QB (has his own concerns, but so does every QB in the draft), a potential building block on D at 6, another defensive or offensive line piece at 17, and/or 37, in a potentially really strong draft at those positions. It’s setting this franchise up for a transformation into the future. #17 and 37 this year are more valuable than previous years because of the depth at our areas of need.
I won’t count Engram because he doesn’t seem like a fit in our current scheme. He displayed some play making ability since entering the league, but I’m not extremely excited about him. It is intriguing that he is going into his 3rd year, which is a turning point for receiving playmakers
it's also a major indictment of either Rosen or Washington. Ridiculous that Washington wouldn't inquire about his availability given their need at the position, unless he's "off their board", so to speak.

Cardinals trying to drum up interest. They thought they would have teams banging there door down for Rosen but it hasn't happened
.
I would be surprised if the 'Skins don't call.
There are two teams I don't 'trust' in this draft,
the Raiders and 'Skins, don't have a clue with those teams.
You have Mayock and Gruden with the Raiders, and then there
is always the 'Skins. I don't want them to muck things up.
Pre-injuries, Phil had a howitzer. His seam and i-cut throws were epic. Also, nobody ever called Phil “cerebral.”
He had a good arm, I wouldn't call it a howitzer. And while Phil may not have been cerebral, I suspect that Rosen's intelligence is a little overstated. I compare Rosen's arm to Collins because he throws such a pretty ball and I compare him to Simms because of his willingness to take a pounding in order to get the ball to the open man.
Especially considering the differences in politics. Or maybe he and his scouting department just see better value in Haskins or another rookie QB. I also wonder if everyone is writing off Alex Smith too soon.
with Papa and Weiss? Dear god, Weiss is cringe worthy listening.. The way he delivers, the way he makes conversations stop and just the overall lack of delivery is fucking painful to listen to. I wonder what Papa really thinks of him or at least thinks of his "co-hosting"..

Talking to a team could mean a multitude of things. The moment Gettleman picks up the call and Miami's GM says 'hello' that constitutes talking to us. It doesn't mean we shwed any interest whatsoever or if we did the level of interest was not at a high enough compensation.
then it's almost certain that the Giants are interested in Rosen, despite whatever any BBIers claim to the contrary.
All depends on how the conversation went. We know DG isn't making the first call. So if Keim called DG to gauge his interest, it could have been a very quick call.
Keim: Hey, Dave. How are you doing? Any interest in Josh?
DG: Doing well, Steve. Have you been drinking? You have to lay off the sauce. Bye, Steve.

Probably. Because NFL teams know that they can wait them out tonight with Murray. It's the scenario we've discussed all along. I still wonder if at the end of all this, they trade him to the Chargers for their late first rounder. I think the price tag to beat is #37 with the Giants.

Peter Schrager's take last night I thought sounded entirely plausible; the Giants want to come out of the draft with a QB one way or another (just not at #6), but are comfortable with Jones or Lock or Rosen; which will allow them to sit at 17 rather than play chicken with the Redskins at 15. They know if come pick 17 neither Jones or Lock are on the board they can just execute a deal for Rosen since nothing the Cards have gotten for offers could beat the 37th pick. He also opined that quite frankly there's no indication that the Cardinals have even gotten a 2nd round offer at all yet, but thought the Giants 3rd was too low by itself and at that point they would rather just keep Rosen as a backup if all they can get is an end of the 3rd round pick.
I know the opinions on Rosen are all over the map Â
but if the Giants come out of tonight without taking a QB AND acquiring Rosen for #37, I'll be doing cartwheels all the way to work tomorrow... That would be the pie in the sky scenario for me. I desperately wanted Rosen last year, and if we can get him for $0.60 on the dollar this year, I'll be thrilled.
Cardinals trying to drum up interest. They thought they would have teams banging there door down for Rosen but it hasn't happened
but if it was the cardinals leaking to drum upninterest wouldnt they say multiple teams have called them?
Saying only 2 teams called means the price will be lower not higher
This.
It's FAR more likely that the source is coming from the NYG or MIA FO, assuming it's valid in the first place.
I just have a feeling that by the end of the day tomorrow (or even tonight) there's going to be a lot of wondering how the inside info was off the mark this year. And while I do enjoy getting the info that our asshats provide, I also do think that it'll be an encouraging development if the leaks have finally dried up.
2019 5th and a conditional 2022 2nd rounder that drops to a 4th if Rosen doesn't start 85% of the games in 2020 and 2021. But, management *has* to commit to going hard, including a massive trade for a 2020 QB (ranked as one of the top 4 QB's in the draft).
and Rosen's second year makes this lean toward the unlikely side IMO. All Eli has to to is start to struggle and boom..
I don't quite understand the downside of having a young viable alternative in case Eli struggles at 38 years old. If you're confident in Eli's ability, what's the problem? Has he at any point ever seemed like he was remotely affected by criticism?
If there was ever a QB who was seemingly engineered to navigate a would-be QB controversy with poise, it's Eli.
and he follows the team just as closely as we do the Giants and he is adamant that the Dolphins do not really want Rosen and that they are fully committed to landing Tua in 2020. If he is right then that would leave the Giants as the only true suitor currently. That could all change tonight if a team like Washington misses out on their top 2 QB's or maybe SD or NE were waiting until draft day to show their interest.
and Rosen's second year makes this lean toward the unlikely side IMO. All Eli has to to is start to struggle and boom..
This mentality should terrify fans. If a team with 8 combined wins over 2 years, has a lame duck, 38-year-old QB who struggles, we should worry the 2nd year top 10 draft pick will play?

#2 pick for Rosen. I would give a 3rd and a 4th though. Best part about that would be if in 2 years we are somehow in play for the QB from Clemson then nothing lost by doing that.
Of Rosen and Peterson is available, I would gladly trade our #17 pick for that straight up. Would take our secondary from a major weakness to a strength in one move, and provide a future plan for life after Eli. I think when you look back on the Beckham trade and if you land that, people will view it as a win.

love to get Rosen for #37, but trust the insiders JonC and jtgiants that the Giants don't want to pay that much. But their interest level and that of other teams may well increase based on what happens in the draft.
and then a trade for rosen with only pick #37. like the OP says. Sorry Eli, I love you..i really..really do. However if we do that trade you are the backup. No way..no way do I at all stunt the growth of rosen to make Eli happy. He will be the highest paid backup in nfl history for a year. Its already on the cap, he already made his bonus so he can tutor rosen and be our backup even if for this year they are similar. If we do this trade rosen should start right away.
So curious as to what DG and PS think of JR.
Dave Te posted last night that the Cards are close to a deal Â

Holy crap. That would be an amazing score.
Getting both for 17 and a 4th would be amazing. Don't see the Giants taking on Rosen though.

It's a bit silly, but it would make me smile if after passing on the QBs last year, the Giants come away from this draft with Josh Rosen and (a) Josh Allen.
Especially considering the differences in politics. Or maybe he and his scouting department just see better value in Haskins or another rookie QB. I also wonder if everyone is writing off Alex Smith too soon.
My opinion, it's less about Politics (although Rosen may share similar views in DC) and more about decision making. Everyone has a bias or view, but everybody doesn't advertise it. I'm guessing teams want their QB to be the face of the organization not trying to antagonize 1/2 the fan base.
I'd be very happy if DG pulled off a big trade with AZ and came away with Rosen and Peterson, similar to what the Browns trade ended up being (Zeitler, Peppers, 1, 3, for Vernon and OBJ).
That would allow the Giants to cut Jenkins and replace him with a cheaper, younger, and actually good CB.
But that's not coming cheap. That would take the 6th overall +.
undervaluing Rosen. He's better than any of the QBs in this draft. I would offer them 17 if the are willing to give us 65. It allows them to save face and is perfectly reasonable from the Giants standpoint. Also fills that gap in our picks that Gettleman is stressing about.
I also wonder if everyone is writing off Alex Smith too soon.
Writing off Alex Smith too soon? He had a compound fracture, a spiral fracture, and had to spend a month in the hospital fighting an infection in his leg. It's not like people are claiming he's in an age-related decline. He genuinely may never play football again.
The Cardinals will want a deal done before they take Murray Â
However, if the Giants do indeed trade for Rosen before the draft, they need to make sure that it doesn't break until after their 17th pick. We still would want other teams that QB is a real option for us.
All that said, I trust JT and JonC. They have been very consistent in saying that Rosen is not in play.

How does Rosen's value drop? That makes no sense. The moment they even entertain a Rosen trade, it becomes clear that it's with the intent of taking Murray.
If anything, taking Murray at least gives them a concrete reason to be trading Rosen other than simply wanting to trade Rosen. Trading Rosen after one year without that context is far more damaging to his trade value than waiting until after they've picked Murray.
The timing is almost irrelevant; maximizing their return has much, much more to do with getting multiple teams into the bidding and virtually nothing to do with making sure they trade him before they pick tonight.

I've heard that Smith will likely not be able to play again. He probably won't retire until his contract ends unless he gets a full settlement, but his prospects of playing again were estimated to be less than 25% from a source I respect well.
Two bidders makes a market. Arizona can hold on until after the draft if they don't like the offers. They may end up getting a pick in next year's draft. If teams are serious, they'll want to get him into camp soon after the draft.
effect value. Multiple bidders will too but those bidders all may have price drop offers once Murray is taken.
I didn't think it would get to this. I saw a late first as possible, no worse that 2nd rounder +. But I guess that may not be the case.
How does it affect value? They don't have to trade him at all. The valuation only shifts if there's a real possibility that teams can acquire Rosen for nothing at all, but that's not the case here. Besides, every single team has known all along that Rosen would only be traded because of Murray, so the difference between assuming it will happen and having it actually happen is de minimis.
Rosen's value may actually increase if the game of musical chairs leaves one or more teams that is targeting a young QB without a chair tonight. Arizona may have to accept a 2020 pick(s) instead, but I think they'll still get at least a 2nd round pick.
I think teams are waiting until they pick Murray. More leverage.
You and I want the same thing. The person who has that thing sets a deadline for selling that thing. One minute before the sale that person will get our best offers, which will be based on what we consider to be the true value. Have you ever participated in an Ebay auction?
They're not cutting Rosen regardless, so the leverage doesn't change. The value is tied to having multiple bidders, just as it has been all along.
Certainly, more bidders helps but the possibility of AZ keeping Rosen and taking a defensive player helps AZ in negotiations.
Once they take Murray, they can no longer act like keeping Rosen is an option which hurts their leverage.
Once other QBs start coming off the board it really hurts their negotiating position even more.
Yup, the real offers come in after the Cards pick Murray, Â
if they pick Murray, and then those offers improve as the 2019 QBs Haskins, Lock and Jones come off the board.
Interesting game of draft "chicken".
I'm inclined to think someone - the Pats, the Chargers, the Steelers or the Saints will pony up a late round one pick when they see that will close the deal, maybe even getting back a mid rounder from the Cards.

They are not keeping Murray and Rosen. If someone knows you MUST get rid of an asset, the value of that asset decreases. This is day 1 stuff.
My response in the previous comment didn't take. What I intended to say was this: If you and I want to buy the same thing, and the seller sets a deadline for offers, he will get the best offer from both of us at that deadline if we're both seriously interested. That's how auctions work. Just like Ebay. If he doesn't like our offers, he can withdraw the item (Rosen).

There's a major fallacy in that argument. You're acting as though they would only draft Murray if they got a suitable offer for Rosen and would therefore need to be blown away. It's the other way around. They will only trade Rosen because they want Murray instead. Since that's the context of the trade negotiations to begin with, actually selecting Murray does not change Rosen's trade value.
And the other QBs coming off the board may or may not hurt Arizona's leverage. It depends what teams pick QBs. But again, that's already being factored into the mix. If a team is targeting the QB position and hasn't traded for Rosen already, it's because they think they may have a better alternative available in the draft. If that QB gets picked before their selection, Rosen may become a more attractive option.
I don't disagree that Rosen's value may dynamically shift today. I just don't believe that it can only go down or that the timing of drafting Murray (when that's been viewed as fait accompli all along) has any meaningful effect.

But you're wrong. They can keep Rosen. San Diego drafted Eli and traded for Rivers and kept Brees. Philly drafted Wentz and kept Bradford (until training camp when they took advantage of a fortuitous opportunity to trade him to recoup max value).
It’s not so much the draft that hurts Rosen’s stock Â
It is who is picked. For each QB selected, that is one fewer team in the market for Rosen.
This is true - it's the musical chairs that I was referring to above. But all it really takes is one unexpected team to sit in one of the QB chairs and a new bidder who was targeting a QB tonight might enter the fray.
My response in the previous comment didn't take.

Right but once they take Murray (if they do) everyone knows they have to unload him and his value drops.
Once the draft gets past the #17 pick, his value REALLY drops because then all the QB needy teams had a chance to take one in the draft have either done so OR passed on doing so and are clearly not desperate for one.
Then you are left with teams like the Chargers and Patriots who have five things going for them:
1. They know you have to unload him. Keeping him is not an option.
2. A bunch of other teams that may have been bidding on him are no longer in the market so demand is much lower than it might have been.
3. They are still in a good position at QB in the short term. No need to panic.
4. Next year is viewed as an outstanding year to pick up their future QB.
5. They know that AZ has arguably the most holes of any team in the NFL and sitting on two young 1st round QBs is a luxury that Steve Keim does not have.

Gatorade Dunk you are 100% correct. I don't think folks here understand leverage. The leverage of the Cardinals is affected by the number of suitors, period. I expect Rosen will be dealt today, probably to the Giants, Redskins, Chargers or Phins. But if he is not dealt I do not understand this idea that if they draft Murray they can't carry Rosen too. As if a team never carried to QBs before. By midseason they will get a 2nd round pick for Rosen, as happened with Brissette, as happened with Garropollo.
Gatorade is also correct that the Cards are trading Rosen because they like and want Murray, they are not drafting Murray contingent on a trade of Rosen.
It is who is picked. For each QB selected, that is one fewer team in the market for Rosen.
It is a two way street though; yes the teams that select a QB are now out of the bidding for Rosen, but the teams that are left without a QB no longer can negotiate from strength of "well we don't necessarily need him because we could draft a QB at some point instead"
in using the 17th pick for an ordinary prospect, Andy Dalton Jones, but we won't use the pick to trade for a guy who could easily be Peyton Manning with a better arm, Josh Rosen.
To quote my fat friend in Charlotte, how "fucking obtuse".

I don't agree. Having both rostered heading into the season can rip that team apart.
If that were the case he would have gone #1 overall and not traded because of the system. I'm fine trading for Rosen, but I my expectations would be above average NFL starter - anything more would be unexpected, anything less would be likely.
But trying to authoritatively call out which prospect is definitively going to be better is an exercise in futility.
Rosen is likely going to be closer to Andy Dalton than Peyton, as Jones will likely be too.
If you had your choice at #17, Rosen or Jones, I have to imagine you take Rosen. And without blinking.
Neither is worth it when there are better DL or OT guys available that could actually help us improve. But, if it were a gun to my head to take a QB, I'd take Jones in a heartbeat. At least he comes to the team without a hematoma.
But then again - if we get a guy who is Andy Dalton, is that necessarily a bad thing? We'd have to have other components around us, but Dalton has played for several years and been in the playoffs several times.
It isn't what I'd want to sign up for, but having Andy Dalton is a lot better than getting Jake Locker

And Dalton was a second rounder. Taken a little high for my tastes, but a reasonable spot. And that's where Jones should be selected, at best, the second round.
Dalton is a middle of the pack NFL QB who has been reliable. But he's not this force multiplier that I prefer in a QB. Which isn't surprising because he really has no plus/plus-plus abilities.
It may surprise you to hear that I'm not much of an Eli guy, but it was clear from day one he had an NFL arm in the plus category and was going to be able to make throws on the route tree. Rosen has that ability and is a better athlete.
Keep telling yourself that they have to trade Rosen.
They don't.
hahaha...OK
NFL history is on my side here. But you just keep telling yourself that they have to trade him.
The two examples you provided were vastly different than this one.
I truly am curious of the history you are talking about. When has a team drafted top 10 QBs back to back years and kept both?
It doesnt really matter though - we can just wait and see. And if the Cardinals do keep both it wont actually shock me bc it will be consistent with the string of terrible decisions theyve made over the last few years.

Like firing your HC after one year, hiring a new HC that just got fired at the collegiate level, having a GM with a serious character flag himself? Can those rip that team apart too?
I guess more importantly, do they even have a team to rip apart?
The point is, they most likely WILL trade Rosen. But they aren't going to cut him either way, so the idea that drafting Murray reduces Rosen's value (when everyone knows they'd only be trading Rosen because they want Murray anyway) is false. Rosen's value is independent of whether it's before or after they draft Murray.
not really sure what to tell you. If you think its a good idea to have both Murray and Rosen, two polar opposite QB's and top 10 picks "fighting" to start, than there's nothing really to discuss.
Everything else you mentioned already happened and the organization is trying to move on. To do that you need sound decision making and a leader on the field which should be your QB. So who's going to run that offense/locker room? Survival of the fittest?
Its a shitty way to run a franchise, regardless of how shitty its already been.
not really sure what to tell you. If you think its a good idea to have both Murray and Rosen, two polar opposite QB's and top 10 picks "fighting" to start, than there's nothing really to discuss.

There are plenty of teams that entered pre-season with 2 qbs. Some qb breaks a leg somewhere and suddenly there is a bid for rosen.
the teams that entered the season with 2 top 10 drafted QB's that are rookies or sophomores, that have 2 polar opposite styles, requiring the team to build one way or the other.
This isn't just some "bring 2 guys to camp and see what happens" scenario.

WTF makes you think I said it's a good idea for them to battle it out? All I said was their leverage doesn't change. Because it doesn't. They're not cutting Rosen regardless. Whatever value he has (or doesn't) is not affected by drafting Murray.
You keep asking for an example but it's not like teams routinely draft top-10 QBs in consecutive years. Arizona's mismanagement is different from understanding basic tenets of negotiations and leverage.
and what the fuck makes you think i'm talking about cutting him? Who on earth even talked about him being cut?
If you can't understand my POV than just move on. No need to get all pissy.
Because that's how leverage works. That's the primary driving force that causes teams to take pennies on the dollar in trades - they would have to release the player anyway, or the contract is prohibitive, whatever. None of those are in play in this scenario.
This is basic stuff. I thought UConn was a decent school. Do they not offer business classes?

Drafting Murray absolutely affects Rosen's value to the Cardinals bc you cant play both of them. As long as one of them is not playing, he adds very little value to their team and actually adds drama to a franchise with a 1st year head coach.
It only adds drama if one or both of the players in the situation Â

Affecting value to their roster and affecting value in trade are two very different things. They also can't play Rosen if they're trading him.
I feel like you (and UConn) are mistaking motivation to sell with loss of leverage. Arizona certainly becomes more motivated to sell on Rosen if/when they draft Murray because Rosen serves far less purpose for them on their roster than he does as a trade chip. But his value doesn't decrease in any meaningful way simply because the only reason they're trading him is because of Murray, and that's the case before the draft, too, and has been for months.
Any reduction in Rosen's trade value as it relates to Murray has already happened. It's not pending the draft pick. Trading Rosen completely telegraph's Arizona's pick anyway, so they don't have additional leverage before they make the pick that everyone expects them to make. By virtue of entering the trade negotiations in the first place, the other team is already operating from a leverage position that is identical to that in which Murray is already on the Cardinals. It's insane to imagine that the Cardinals could conclude that Murray is their guy, but then pass on him because they're getting lowballed on Rosen offers. But that's what you're suggesting when you say that their leverage decreases when they actually do make the pick.
They're not going to just keep Rosen and pass on Murray simply because they don't like the Rosen offers; they're either drafting Murray or not because they think he's the best QB for their system or they don't. The only correlation between the two is that Murray at least gives them a plausible reason for trading Rosen that isn't entirely Rosen-related.
Keep telling yourself that they have to trade Rosen.
They don't.
hahaha...OK
It's true though. Or at least, the Cardinals don't have to quake in fear at the negotiation table if their potential trade partner says, "This is our best offer, because we know you HAVE to trade him. Victory is ours!"

It’s more than just accumulating high draft picks in consecutive drafts. It’s acquiring one of the best prospects to come out in years (Barkley), a potential franchise QB (has his own concerns, but so does every QB in the draft), a potential building block on D at 6, another defensive or offensive line piece at 17, and/or 37, in a potentially really strong draft at those positions. It’s setting this franchise up for a transformation into the future. #17 and 37 this year are more valuable than previous years because of the depth at our areas of need.
I won’t count Engram because he doesn’t seem like a fit in our current scheme. He displayed some play making ability since entering the league, but I’m not extremely excited about him. It is intriguing that he is going into his 3rd year, which is a turning point for receiving playmakers
but if it was the cardinals leaking to drum upninterest wouldnt they say multiple teams have called them?

Yeah, seems counter productive for the Cards to say this. If anything I would leak MULTIPLE teams have inquired about Rosen..
Who would want to play for Synder.
I would be surprised if the 'Skins don't call.
There are two teams I don't 'trust' in this draft,
the Raiders and 'Skins, don't have a clue with those teams.
You have Mayock and Gruden with the Raiders, and then there
is always the 'Skins. I don't want them to muck things up.

And if we get him with #37... we would have six 1st round picks from the last 3 drafts... that's crazy! I'm all aboard with that...
Talking to a team could mean a multitude of things. The moment Gettleman picks up the call and Miami's GM says 'hello' that constitutes talking to us. It doesn't mean we shwed any interest whatsoever or if we did the level of interest was not at a high enough compensation.
All depends on how the conversation went. We know DG isn't making the first call. So if Keim called DG to gauge his interest, it could have been a very quick call.
Keim: Hey, Dave. How are you doing? Any interest in Josh?
DG: Doing well, Steve. Have you been drinking? You have to lay off the sauce. Bye, Steve.
Probably. Because NFL teams know that they can wait them out tonight with Murray. It's the scenario we've discussed all along. I still wonder if at the end of all this, they trade him to the Chargers for their late first rounder. I think the price tag to beat is #37 with the Giants.
I can't believe this is true though. I imagine a lot of teams are in on Rosen.
I've been consistent with a 3rd and a 5th for Rosen.
Of course, the Giants 3rd Rd. pick is the Pats pick
(via Clev.) at the end of the 3rd?

Peter Schrager's take last night I thought sounded entirely plausible; the Giants want to come out of the draft with a QB one way or another (just not at #6), but are comfortable with Jones or Lock or Rosen; which will allow them to sit at 17 rather than play chicken with the Redskins at 15. They know if come pick 17 neither Jones or Lock are on the board they can just execute a deal for Rosen since nothing the Cards have gotten for offers could beat the 37th pick. He also opined that quite frankly there's no indication that the Cardinals have even gotten a 2nd round offer at all yet, but thought the Giants 3rd was too low by itself and at that point they would rather just keep Rosen as a backup if all they can get is an end of the 3rd round pick.

This.
It's FAR more likely that the source is coming from the NYG or MIA FO, assuming it's valid in the first place.
I just have a feeling that by the end of the day tomorrow (or even tonight) there's going to be a lot of wondering how the inside info was off the mark this year. And while I do enjoy getting the info that our asshats provide, I also do think that it'll be an encouraging development if the leaks have finally dried up.
I don't quite understand the downside of having a young viable alternative in case Eli struggles at 38 years old. If you're confident in Eli's ability, what's the problem? Has he at any point ever seemed like he was remotely affected by criticism?
If there was ever a QB who was seemingly engineered to navigate a would-be QB controversy with poise, it's Eli.

Yeah, I don't have the slightest idea what that comparison is based on, either.
My opinion, it's less about Politics (although Rosen may share similar views in DC) and more about decision making. Everyone has a bias or view, but everybody doesn't advertise it. I'm guessing teams want their QB to be the face of the organization not trying to antagonize 1/2 the fan base.
That would allow the Giants to cut Jenkins and replace him with a cheaper, younger, and actually good CB.
But that's not coming cheap. That would take the 6th overall +.
That's it.
People are acting like he's Alec Baldwin.
Writing off Alex Smith too soon? He had a compound fracture, a spiral fracture, and had to spend a month in the hospital fighting an infection in his leg. It's not like people are claiming he's in an age-related decline. He genuinely may never play football again.
However, if the Giants do indeed trade for Rosen before the draft, they need to make sure that it doesn't break until after their 17th pick. We still would want other teams that QB is a real option for us.
All that said, I trust JT and JonC. They have been very consistent in saying that Rosen is not in play.

How does Rosen's value drop? That makes no sense. The moment they even entertain a Rosen trade, it becomes clear that it's with the intent of taking Murray.
If anything, taking Murray at least gives them a concrete reason to be trading Rosen other than simply wanting to trade Rosen. Trading Rosen after one year without that context is far more damaging to his trade value than waiting until after they've picked Murray.
The timing is almost irrelevant; maximizing their return has much, much more to do with getting multiple teams into the bidding and virtually nothing to do with making sure they trade him before they pick tonight.

I've heard that Smith will likely not be able to play again. He probably won't retire until his contract ends unless he gets a full settlement, but his prospects of playing again were estimated to be less than 25% from a source I respect well.

They're not cutting Rosen regardless, so the leverage doesn't change. The value is tied to having multiple bidders, just as it has been all along.

For example?

Certainly, more bidders helps but the possibility of AZ keeping Rosen and taking a defensive player helps AZ in negotiations.
Once they take Murray, they can no longer act like keeping Rosen is an option which hurts their leverage.
Once other QBs start coming off the board it really hurts their negotiating position even more.
I didn't think it would get to this. I saw a late first as possible, no worse that 2nd rounder +. But I guess that may not be the case.
How does it affect value? They don't have to trade him at all. The valuation only shifts if there's a real possibility that teams can acquire Rosen for nothing at all, but that's not the case here. Besides, every single team has known all along that Rosen would only be traded because of Murray, so the difference between assuming it will happen and having it actually happen is de minimis.
Rosen's value may actually increase if the game of musical chairs leaves one or more teams that is targeting a young QB without a chair tonight. Arizona may have to accept a 2020 pick(s) instead, but I think they'll still get at least a 2nd round pick.

Interesting game of draft "chicken".
I'm inclined to think someone - the Pats, the Chargers, the Steelers or the Saints will pony up a late round one pick when they see that will close the deal, maybe even getting back a mid rounder from the Cards.

They are not keeping Murray and Rosen. If someone knows you MUST get rid of an asset, the value of that asset decreases. This is day 1 stuff.
SD offering their 1 would be the only roadblock, unless the Giants just don’t want anything to do with Rosen
Yeah. Remember the whole Alvin Kamara trade that was completely made up by him as well?

There's a major fallacy in that argument. You're acting as though they would only draft Murray if they got a suitable offer for Rosen and would therefore need to be blown away. It's the other way around. They will only trade Rosen because they want Murray instead. Since that's the context of the trade negotiations to begin with, actually selecting Murray does not change Rosen's trade value.
And the other QBs coming off the board may or may not hurt Arizona's leverage. It depends what teams pick QBs. But again, that's already being factored into the mix. If a team is targeting the QB position and hasn't traded for Rosen already, it's because they think they may have a better alternative available in the draft. If that QB gets picked before their selection, Rosen may become a more attractive option.
I don't disagree that Rosen's value may dynamically shift today. I just don't believe that it can only go down or that the timing of drafting Murray (when that's been viewed as fait accompli all along) has any meaningful effect.

But you're wrong. They can keep Rosen. San Diego drafted Eli and traded for Rivers and kept Brees. Philly drafted Wentz and kept Bradford (until training camp when they took advantage of a fortuitous opportunity to trade him to recoup max value).
This is true - it's the musical chairs that I was referring to above. But all it really takes is one unexpected team to sit in one of the QB chairs and a new bidder who was targeting a QB tonight might enter the fray.
Right but once they take Murray (if they do) everyone knows they have to unload him and his value drops.
Once the draft gets past the #17 pick, his value REALLY drops because then all the QB needy teams had a chance to take one in the draft have either done so OR passed on doing so and are clearly not desperate for one.
Then you are left with teams like the Chargers and Patriots who have five things going for them:
1. They know you have to unload him. Keeping him is not an option.
2. A bunch of other teams that may have been bidding on him are no longer in the market so demand is much lower than it might have been.
3. They are still in a good position at QB in the short term. No need to panic.
4. Next year is viewed as an outstanding year to pick up their future QB.
5. They know that AZ has arguably the most holes of any team in the NFL and sitting on two young 1st round QBs is a luxury that Steve Keim does not have.

Gatorade Dunk you are 100% correct. I don't think folks here understand leverage. The leverage of the Cardinals is affected by the number of suitors, period. I expect Rosen will be dealt today, probably to the Giants, Redskins, Chargers or Phins. But if he is not dealt I do not understand this idea that if they draft Murray they can't carry Rosen too. As if a team never carried to QBs before. By midseason they will get a 2nd round pick for Rosen, as happened with Brissette, as happened with Garropollo.
Gatorade is also correct that the Cards are trading Rosen because they like and want Murray, they are not drafting Murray contingent on a trade of Rosen.
They don't.
It is a two way street though; yes the teams that select a QB are now out of the bidding for Rosen, but the teams that are left without a QB no longer can negotiate from strength of "well we don't necessarily need him because we could draft a QB at some point instead"
To quote my fat friend in Charlotte, how "fucking obtuse".

But trying to authoritatively call out which prospect is definitively going to be better is an exercise in futility.
Rosen is likely going to be closer to Andy Dalton than Peyton, as Jones will likely be too.
bw central at its finest.
They don't.
hahaha...OK

I didn't think it would get to this. I saw a late first as possible, no worse that 2nd rounder +. But I guess that may not be the case.
How does it affect value? They don't have to trade him at all. The valuation only shifts if there's a real possibility that teams can acquire Rosen for nothing at all, but that's not the case here. Besides, every single team has known all along that Rosen would only be traded because of Murray, so the difference between assuming it will happen and having it actually happen is de minimis.
Rosen's value may actually increase if the game of musical chairs leaves one or more teams that is targeting a young QB without a chair tonight. Arizona may have to accept a 2020 pick(s) instead, but I think they'll still get at least a 2nd round pick.
I don't agree. Having both rostered heading into the season can rip that team apart.
If that were the case he would have gone #1 overall and not traded because of the system. I'm fine trading for Rosen, but I my expectations would be above average NFL starter - anything more would be unexpected, anything less would be likely.
you sure did, that is just some of the hard hitting takes coming out of bw central these days.

If you had your choice at #17, Rosen or Jones, I have to imagine you take Rosen. And without blinking.

Neither is worth it when there are better DL or OT guys available that could actually help us improve. But, if it were a gun to my head to take a QB, I'd take Jones in a heartbeat. At least he comes to the team without a hematoma.
But then again - if we get a guy who is Andy Dalton, is that necessarily a bad thing? We'd have to have other components around us, but Dalton has played for several years and been in the playoffs several times.
It isn't what I'd want to sign up for, but having Andy Dalton is a lot better than getting Jake Locker

NFL history is on my side here. But you just keep telling yourself that they have to trade him.

And Dalton was a second rounder. Taken a little high for my tastes, but a reasonable spot. And that's where Jones should be selected, at best, the second round.
Dalton is a middle of the pack NFL QB who has been reliable. But he's not this force multiplier that I prefer in a QB. Which isn't surprising because he really has no plus/plus-plus abilities.
It may surprise you to hear that I'm not much of an Eli guy, but it was clear from day one he had an NFL arm in the plus category and was going to be able to make throws on the route tree. Rosen has that ability and is a better athlete.
i think the Giants once had two #1 QB's on the roster at one time. Manning and Carr.

The two examples you provided were vastly different than this one.
I truly am curious of the history you are talking about. When has a team drafted top 10 QBs back to back years and kept both?
It doesnt really matter though - we can just wait and see. And if the Cardinals do keep both it wont actually shock me bc it will be consistent with the string of terrible decisions theyve made over the last few years.

Like firing your HC after one year, hiring a new HC that just got fired at the collegiate level, having a GM with a serious character flag himself? Can those rip that team apart too?
I guess more importantly, do they even have a team to rip apart?
The point is, they most likely WILL trade Rosen. But they aren't going to cut him either way, so the idea that drafting Murray reduces Rosen's value (when everyone knows they'd only be trading Rosen because they want Murray anyway) is false. Rosen's value is independent of whether it's before or after they draft Murray.

Aikman and Walsh?
Everything else you mentioned already happened and the organization is trying to move on. To do that you need sound decision making and a leader on the field which should be your QB. So who's going to run that offense/locker room? Survival of the fittest?
Its a shitty way to run a franchise, regardless of how shitty its already been.
You can have 17 bidders, if all of them are submitting shitty bids, that absolutely effects value.

There are plenty of teams that entered pre-season with 2 qbs. Some qb breaks a leg somewhere and suddenly there is a bid for rosen.
This isn't just some "bring 2 guys to camp and see what happens" scenario.

WTF makes you think I said it's a good idea for them to battle it out? All I said was their leverage doesn't change. Because it doesn't. They're not cutting Rosen regardless. Whatever value he has (or doesn't) is not affected by drafting Murray.
You keep asking for an example but it's not like teams routinely draft top-10 QBs in consecutive years. Arizona's mismanagement is different from understanding basic tenets of negotiations and leverage.
If you can't understand my POV than just move on. No need to get all pissy.

Because that's how leverage works. That's the primary driving force that causes teams to take pennies on the dollar in trades - they would have to release the player anyway, or the contract is prohibitive, whatever. None of those are in play in this scenario.
This is basic stuff. I thought UConn was a decent school. Do they not offer business classes?

Drafting Murray absolutely affects Rosen's value to the Cardinals bc you cant play both of them. As long as one of them is not playing, he adds very little value to their team and actually adds drama to a franchise with a 1st year head coach.
Assuming drama is not the same as there actually being any.

And now you are being a fucking asshole all because I disagree with you. Congrats, mission accomplished.

Affecting value to their roster and affecting value in trade are two very different things. They also can't play Rosen if they're trading him.
I feel like you (and UConn) are mistaking motivation to sell with loss of leverage. Arizona certainly becomes more motivated to sell on Rosen if/when they draft Murray because Rosen serves far less purpose for them on their roster than he does as a trade chip. But his value doesn't decrease in any meaningful way simply because the only reason they're trading him is because of Murray, and that's the case before the draft, too, and has been for months.
Any reduction in Rosen's trade value as it relates to Murray has already happened. It's not pending the draft pick. Trading Rosen completely telegraph's Arizona's pick anyway, so they don't have additional leverage before they make the pick that everyone expects them to make. By virtue of entering the trade negotiations in the first place, the other team is already operating from a leverage position that is identical to that in which Murray is already on the Cardinals. It's insane to imagine that the Cardinals could conclude that Murray is their guy, but then pass on him because they're getting lowballed on Rosen offers. But that's what you're suggesting when you say that their leverage decreases when they actually do make the pick.
They're not going to just keep Rosen and pass on Murray simply because they don't like the Rosen offers; they're either drafting Murray or not because they think he's the best QB for their system or they don't. The only correlation between the two is that Murray at least gives them a plausible reason for trading Rosen that isn't entirely Rosen-related.

They don't.
hahaha...OK
It's true though. Or at least, the Cardinals don't have to quake in fear at the negotiation table if their potential trade partner says, "This is our best offer, because we know you HAVE to trade him. Victory is ours!"
