Josh Rosen has been in a very weird position this offseason after being drafted in the first round by the Arizona Cardinals last year. The team went ahead and took Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray this year at No. 1 overall, signaling the likely end of Rosen's short tenure with the franchise.
Shortly after selecting Murray, Rosen took to his social media to unfollow the Cardinals. While some may not think much of that action, former NFL star wide receiver Steve Smith didn't like it all. He ripped into Rosen for his social media activity.

Smith has a good point. Even though it is understandable that Rosen is upset about the Cardinals taking another quarterback, he should use it as motivation and ignore social media. Getting in the gym and getting better would be the right first action after seeing that happen, rather than jumping on social media to make a point.
Last season with the Cardinals, Rosen had a very rough year. He didn't have a great supporting cast, but he didn't do a lot to prove that he could become a franchise quarterback in Arizona.
Rosen completed just 55.2 percent of his pass attempts for 2,278 yards, 11 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions. Those numbers show why the Cardinals decided to go ahead and take Murray.
At just 22 years old, Rosen appears to be on the move via trade. Reports have stated that the Miami Dolphins and the Cardinals are close to an agreement on a trade that would send Rosen out of town. The reported trade would see the Dolphins sending the No. 48 overall pick to the Cardinals.
Expect to hear more about Josh Rosen in the near future. If he is traded tonight, a fresh start may be exactly what the young quarterback needs.
