Dolphins release quarterback Josh Rosen 8:32 PM ET Cameron Wolfe ESPN Staff Writer
The Miami Dolphins have released quarterback Josh Rosen instead of working out a trade for him, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Friday.
It marks the second time a team has jettisoned Rosen over the past 17 months and puts a cap on an unsuccessful tenure in Miami. The Dolphins are admitting a mistake in trading for Rosen by giving up on him a year later. It also gives Rosen a fresh start and a rare third chance to salvage his NFL career.
Rosen, 23, is entering his third NFL season potentially with his third team. And yet, he's younger (by roughly 60 days) than Cincinnati Bengals rookie quarterback Joe Burrow. It has yet to be seen if another team is willing to take a chance on Rosen's potential, given the Arizona Cardinals' 2018 first-round pick has a 3-13 record in the 20 games he has played. Rosen was traded to Miami during draft weekend in April 2019 for a 2019 second-round pick and a 2020 fifth-round pick. That move hasn't worked out so far for Miami, and there wasn't a clear path for Rosen to become a starter again with the Dolphins.
Rosen started three games last season for the Dolphins, completing 53% of his passes for 567 yards, one touchdown and five interceptions. He entered the lineup for Fitzpatrick ahead of a Week 3 game at Dallas, and he was benched for Fitzpatrick during the fourth quarter of a Week 6 game vs. Washington. He didn't get another opportunity to start again.
Rosen has a 22.8 Total QBR over his two seasons, last among quarterbacks to appear in at least 20 games in that span.

Rosen has certainly been a bust so far - but he’s been on 2 horrid teams which isn’t his fault, so would he have been better if he had been on better teams? I’m not sure, but I think he deserves a shot on a team with more talent than the 2018 Cards and the 2019 Dolphins.

I’m not sure, but I think he deserves a shot on a team with more talent than the 2018 Cards and the 2019 Dolphins. The age old question. Would Tom Brady have been Tom Brady anywhere else? Would Joey Harrington been successful if he had been drafted by another team? Ryan Fitzpatrick, working with the same tools that Rosen had, worked much better. I seen a lot of Fitzpatrick in Buffalo. He had moments but he doesn't have the potential that Rosen has/had.

This is not really a subject that requires an “anybody else.”

This is not really a subject that requires an “anybody else.” It also needs to be done in Anthonyrocks style. All lowercase, and the space is essential. anybody else ?

49ers cut former 10th-overall pick Josh Rosen 4:48 PM CT Nick Wagoner ESPN Staff Writer
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The San Francisco 49ers waived quarterback Josh Rosen on Tuesday, sending the former No. 10 overall pick back to an uncertain football future.
With Jimmy Garoppolo and Trey Lance cemented as the Niners' top two quarterbacks and veteran Nate Sudfeld outplaying Rosen in the battle for a possible third spot on the depth chart, Rosen became expendable when San Francisco claimed cornerback Davontae Harris from the Baltimore Ravens on waivers.
Thus ends a relatively short stint with the 49ers for Rosen, who never appeared in a regular-season game for the team after it signed him from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' practice squad on Dec. 23, 2020. The 49ers re-signed Rosen on Feb. 8 in hopes he could push for the No. 3 job, but Rosen's struggles in camp mounted over the past couple of weeks.
