Josh Rosen expected to report to Cardinals despite trade rumors
Josh Rosen could be on borrowed time with the Arizona Cardinals, but that is not going to affect the way the second-year quarterback approaches his offseason schedule with the team.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Rosen is expected to report to the Cardinals when their voluntary offseason workouts begin next week. While some players who have been the subject of trade rumors choose to stay away in situations like that, Rosen is not planning to go that route.
Despite being the subject of rampant trade speculation, Arizona QB Josh Rosen is expected to report to and participate in the start of the Cardinals’ off-season workout program on Monday. Some players who have been subject of trade speculation have declined to report to workouts.

Schefter also noted that the Cardinals have not had active discussions with any team about trading Rosen, though that could obviously change leading up to the draft.
Plus, the Cardinals still have not engaged in active trade discussions to date on Josh Rosen. Other teams have asked about him, but to date, the Cardinals have not shown a willingness to trade him. To date….

The Cardinals insist they have not yet decided what to do with the No. 1 overall pick, but most people are convinced they are going to draft Kyler Murray. If and when that happens, Rosen likely would have no interest in sticking around. We’ve already heard multiple teams linked to Rosen if the Cardinals do decide to trade him, and it makes sense that they are not stating their intentions with Murray. If teams know the Cards intend to draft Murray, they would probably try to low-ball them with offers for Rosen.
