The Miami Dolphins acquired Josh Rosen in a draft weekend trade with the Arizona Cardinals last Friday, sending the 62nd overall pick to the Cardinals in exchange for the quarterback.
Now, Rosen is ready to begin a new journey in South Beach, and he is grateful for the Dolphins fans who have welcomed him:

What a whirlwind of a year it has been for Rosen.
The 22-year-old, who played his collegiate football at UCLA, was originally selected by the Cardinals with the 10th overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft, and Arizona wanted him so badly that it traded three picks just to move up to take him.
However, Rosen had a disappointing rookie campaign, making 12 starts and throwing for 2,278 yards, 11 touchdowns and 14 interceptions while completing 55.2 percent of his passes and registering a passer rating of 66.7.
The Cardinals then began to fall in love with Oklahoma signal-caller Kyler Murray, and not long into the offseason, it was becoming more and more apparent that Arizona was going to take Murray with the first overall pick of the draft, signaling the end of Rosen's brief tenure with the club.
Sure enough, the Cards did end up drafting Murray last Thursday, and the following day, the Cardinals sent Rosen to Miami.
The Dolphins have been in desperate need of a quarterback for some time, as the Ryan Tannehill era never really worked out, and many of the signal-callers in Miami before him were disappointing.
Now, Rosen has a chance to be the Dolphins' franchise quarterback.
