If the Cardinals decide to trade second-year quarterback Josh Rosen, expect the Redskins to be at the front of the line for his services, NBC Sports’ JP Finlay writes.
Siting ESPN’s Todd McShay, who said he keeps hearing the Redskins from league sources, Finlay notes that Washington appears to be the front-runner for the UCLA product but will not include its first-round pick in 2019 in a deal.
Between Alex Smith (34), Colt McCoy (32) and Case Keenum (31), the Redskins would appear to make sense as a team in need of a young quarterback to build around. While the team has another four years committed to Smith, who broke his leg in 2018, it remains to be seen when he will return to the field. Though the newly acquired Keenum will compete with McCoy for the starting job, both have served most of their careers as backup signal-caller and would appear to not serve as a road block to Rosen, should a deal get done.
Though that first-round pick is off the table, Finlay says that a package of picks spread out over two seasons is firmly in play. With four selection in the first three rounds, Washington has plenty of ammo needed to make a deal work.
In addition to the Redskins, Rosen has been linked heavily with the Giants, Chargers and Patriots in recent days.
Josh Rosen would be a fit in NE, but I don’t think he wants to hold a clipboard, even if it is for Brady
Brady doesn’t want any heat on his spot. Never gonna happen.
Rumor is that Josh Rosen is currently in a relationship with Patricia Bündchen. The pair were scene together today at the Bruins game.
‘Scene’??
Rosen fits perfectly in NE. He should ride the bench for a couple years and learn the game
Look at Brady.. behind Bledsoe, look at Rodgers behind farve, look at maholmes, behind smith.. so many of the top qb’s in the game learned behind another stud. I firmly believe if Rosen doesn’t take that path he is going to be a HUGE bust I don’t think with a great mentor and a great system he will ever be an above avg qb esp based on the teams besides NE interested that have no weapons and have been at best avg teams for years… players just get money hungry and too often don’t take the right path to stardom and bringing the best in themselves out.
Can you guys stop putting that evil on the Patriots? He’s really not that big of an upgrade over Hoyer, and there’s MUCH better options in this draft and next. If the Redskins wanna make a stupid move and trade for him go ahead. New England and the fans do not want him.
How is it a stupid move if they wont trade a first? Trading a 2nd and a few lesser pieces is really not a bad move. Brady and Hoyer aren’t long term options. Rosen needs more than 1 season on the worst team in the NFL before you judge him
Because he’s absolutely trash, I don’t care if he’s only been in the league for 1 year he was trash in college too so I’m suppose to think it’s gonna miraculously change???? Spoiler it won’t, Patriots have major needs at TE and WR they won’t spend an early pick on a QB that won’t start for the next 3 years it’s not rocket science man. They take anyone in this class or next he’ll be a better option than Rosen and won’t have as big of a cap hit.
He definitely was not trash at UCLA. In fact he had extremely good stats. There is obviously some intrest in him from NE like it or not
Lmao what? Extremely good stats? 61% completion, 59 TDs against 26 INTs is not extremely good. Absolutely did not deserve to be a 1st like it or not they don’t its all speculation again makes 0 sense.
He didn’t deserve to be a first even though every source and mock in the world had him as a first round pick? If they re did the draft today he is still a first round pick, just not top 10. You say 59 TDs in 3 years like thats a bad thing. Jeez man what does he have to be Patrick Mahomes to be successful.
Pick #32 is basically a 2nd. If the pats offered their 1st and a 3rd for Rosen and a 4th Is go for it.
Just like Goff after 1 year?
Do you realize if Rosen was coming out of college this year he would 100% be the first QB taken…… to say there are MUCH better options in this years draft is just absurd and points to you not knowing anything about college football and it’s prospects.
‘TheTruth12’ thinks he is a NFL scout. He was going off yesterday about how the cowboys are dumb for locking up a very good edge rusher. He was calling for them to sign Colin Kaepernick a few weeks back. That says it all right there
Holy crap yes they are dumb for giving an injury prone defender 105M, broken foot, 2 back surgeries, and now shoulder surgery and he’s only been in the league since 2014. I wasn’t calling for anyone to sign Karl you brain dead dumb*ss kys
You are really going to sit there and say they gave him 105 million. Do you have any concept of what guaranteed money is. He got 65M as far as you are concerned. 65 is all they have to risk for a great player like Lawrence. Get a clue. Dont play it off as ‘i want calling for kaep’. There was a New England article where you said they should sign him. Funny how you have to tail away from that now
OK who is pushing enter 100 times so the comments are way down the page?
Bad!
Exactly, the cardinals are the worst team in football and by far the worst run. They fire last years coach after 1 season and hire a college coach who has zero nfl experience and doesn’t even have a very good college record. The guy isn’t even qualified for an NFL coordinator job. Now they are gonna get rid of the best pure passer in last years draft and replace him with a 5′-10″ college system QB. The organization is a laughing stock. It would be a blessing for Rosen to get traded to a team with some talent and some semblence of an o-line.
Lol. He would not go before Murray this year. No way.
Projecting QB’s more than a year out as better than Josh Rosen. LLLOOOOLLLLL

So if Alex Smith can’t ever play again (GOD forbid, just wondering) the Redskins are on the hook for his guaranteed money as concerns the salary cap?
The thing is when Alex Smith is ready to play he isn’t ever taking them to the promised land. Loved him in KC but he will only take you so far. You really need to wait for your new coach because you know Washington is going to fore Gruden Ar some point. Snyder is getting itchy.
Tampa should look into getting him.
You little puke. I heard you were a little bltch. One spelling error and you freaking call my work and say I make,sell and smoke Meth. Wait til Nana hears this she will squeeze all of the PSI in your balls you slime roach.
The Redskins don’t need Rosen. Everyone knows Chucky is just bidding time until he can deal Derek Carr and brother Jay would be first in line for a family discount on a deal there.
I doubt it- but it’s plausible.
