Ex-Cardinals QB Josh Rosen Finds Himself a New Team Ahead of 2021 NFL Season

Quarterback Josh Rosen has had not so enviable career path in the NFL so far. The quarterback drafted by the Arizona Cardinals with their first round pick in 2018 had failed to cement his place in the franchise’s plans as the team drafted his replacement in Kyler Murray the very next season.

Since then, Rosen has become a bit of a journeyman. Following two season stint with the Miami Dolphins which failed to reap any rewards, the QB joined the San Francisco 49ers‘ practice squad and even made it to the team roster as their 3rd QB.

But the Niners ultimately waived him last week leaving the former first rounder a free agent.  But Rosen wasn’t left without a team for long as the quarterback has now landed himself a new gig in the southeast.
