Josh Rosen and the Arizona Cardinals are headed for a divorce following the team's decision to draft Kyler Murray with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. It was a bold move after the team used their first round pick last year on Rosen. Now, the Cardinals will have to find a trade partner for Rosen.
Ahead of any potential trade, Rosen has reportedly unfollowed the Cardinals on social media. No one should be surprised about that, as the young quarterback has to be feeling a bit backstabbed at the moment.
Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network made the original report about Rosen unfollowing the Cardinals on social media.

Rosen had a very rough rookie season in Arizona. He completed just 55.2 percent of his pass attempts for 2,278 yards, 11 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions. Those numbers weren't enough to prove to Arizona that Rosen was capable of being the team's long-term franchise quarterback.
At just 22 years of age, Rosen should have no problem finding a new home. Plenty of teams could use a young quarterback. Among those teams could be the Miami Dolphins, depending on what price the Cardinals are asking for in return.
Kliff Kingsbury and company will move forward with Murray under center. He will bring a lot of entertainment to the field and there will be a lot of eyes on him to see how he performs at the NFL level.
Wherever Rosen ends up, he will likely be a long-term fit rather than the immediate starter. Being able to sit back and learn the game from the sidelines behind a veteran quarterback would certainly be in his best interests.
