The Minnesota Vikings signed free-agent quarterback Josh Rosen to their practice squad on Tuesday. Rosen was a first-round pick by the Arizona Cardinals back in 2018, but he hasn't lived up to expectations and lasted only one season before being shipped to the Miami Dolphins in 2019. He has also spent time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, San Francisco 49ers, Atlanta Falcons and Cleveland Browns. The 25-year-old was most recently cut from Cleveland's practice squad in October. Rosen has played in only 24 games (16 starts) in his career, going 277-for-513 for 2,864 yards, 12 touchdowns and 21 interceptions. He'll be providing more depth at QB behind Kirk Cousins and Nick Mullens to close out the season.
The Cleveland Browns signed former first-round quarterback Josh Rosen to an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday, according to sources. Rosen is only 25 years old but has already spent time with five other NFL teams but those that have been around him think he is ready to prove he belongs. With a suspension for Deshaun Watson looming, Rosen will give the Browns some experience behind Jacoby Brissett. The Browns also have Joshua Dobbs on the roster. Rosen was drafted 10th overall by the Arizona Cardinals in 2018 out of UCLA, but he has started only 16 games (13 in his rookie season) while going 277-for-513 for 2,864 yards, 12 touchdowns and 21 interceptions in three seasons. If Rosen is starting games for the Browns in 2022, they'll be in trouble.
The Cleveland Browns are working out free-agent quarterbacks this week, including veterans AJ McCarron and Josh Rosen, according to sources. The Browns are looking to go to training camp with four QBs, with Jacoby Brissett set to be the starter, depending on what happens with Deshaun Watson's status. Behind Watson and Brissett, the Browns also have Joshua Dobbs, but Cleveland would like to bring in one more signal-caller to give them more depth at the position with Watson facing a potentially lengthy suspension in 2022. Rosen, a former first-round pick, went 2-for-11 with two interceptions as Matt Ryan's backup with the Atlanta Falcons in 2021. McCarron signed with Atlanta last offseason before missing the entire season with a torn ACL.
Josh Rosen Throws For 118 Yards, Touchdown In Falcons Debut
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Josh Rosen completed 9 of 18 passes for 118 yards, a touchdown, and no interceptions in Sunday's preseason debut against the Browns. Rosen made his Falcons debut after the team signed him following A.J. McCarron's (knee) season-ending injury and played 58 percent of the team's snaps, leading one touchdown drive while showing off some ability with his legs. The former 10th-overall draft pick seemingly did enough to stick around on the Falcons roster, considering their only other option at the position is undrafted rookie Feleipe Franks.
Free-agent quarterback Josh Rosen is signing with the Atlanta Falcons, per ESPN's Jordan Schultz. The 24-year-old hasn't started an NFL game since 2019 and was recently cut from 49ers camp, but drew the interest of the Falcons, who recently lost backup signal-caller, A.J. McCarron, for the season to a torn ACL. A former top-10 draft choice, Rosen hasn't panned out at the NFL level yet, though he'll now have a chance to compete for the backup role behind Matt Ryan against rookie Feleipe Franks, who has struggled a bit as a passer but flashed athletic ability with his legs. Rosen won't enter the fantasy conversation unless he wins the backup role and an injury occurs to Ryan, who has proven to be very durable in his career.
The San Francisco 49ers have waived quarterback Josh Rosen. A first-round pick in 2018, Rosen's NFL career has been a complete dud. He started 14 games as a rookie, but has just three starts over the past two seasons and didn't play at all in 2020. The Niners were the fourth team to roster Rosen over the past four years, and at this point, they might be the last one. The 49ers didn't necessarily need Rosen as they have Jimmy Garoppolo and Trey Lance, but it's also hard to see a team out there that would view Rosen as a positive on their roster. Maybe he winds up on a practice squad. If you're still holding him in dynasty leagues, it's time to let go.
The San Francisco 49ers will tender an offer to quarterback Josh Rosen, who they picked up late in the 2020 season off the Tampa Bay practice squad. The 10th-overall pick in 2018, Rosen's now on his fourth team in three seasons and isn't a lock to even make the final roster in San Fran next season, much less to challenge for actual playing time. Whatever promise Rosen offered when he was drafted is essentially gone now and if he can't make the final 53-man roster next season, it'll be time to drop him in even the deepest dynasty leagues.
The San Francisco 49ers are signing quarterback Josh Rosen to their active roster off the Tampa Bay Buccaneers practice squad on Tuesday. The 49ers are unsure if Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle), who is on Injured Reserve, will play again this season. Nick Mullens (elbow) needs surgery for a sprained right elbow and will miss the rest of the season, leaving C.J. Beathard as the only healthy signal-caller on the roster heading into Week 16 against the Cardinals on Saturday. Rosen was the 10th overall pick in the first round by the Cardinals in 2018, but he turned out to be a flop and has started just three games (last year with Miami) since his rookie season. Rosen will serve as Beathard's backup on Saturday. The Cardinals defensive unit will be a popular streamer this weekend.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers officially signed former Dolphins and Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen to their practice squad on Tuesday. Rosen, a first-round pick out of UCLA, hasn't lived up to that billing with two different teams so far in his time in the NFL. It's highly unlikely that he'll see the field in 2019 behind future Hall of Famer Tom Brady, Blaine Gabbert and Ryan Griffin, but at least Rosen has a chance to sit and learn behind one of the greatest QBs to ever play the game. The 23-year-old has no fantasy value at the moment, and it's even hard to recommend keeping him stashed in deep two-QB dynasty/keeper formats.
Quarterback Josh Rosen signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as part of their practice squad on Sunday. The 2018 first-round pick was released by the Miami Dolphins on Saturday and will now head up the state for his third team after being drafted just a couple of years ago. Rosen was ultimately let go by Miami due to the presence of rookie Tua Tagovailoa, who the team hopes will be the QB of the future. On Tampa, the 23-year-old Rosen will get a chance to learn from legendary QB Tom Brady in hopes of improving his skills. Through two NFL seasons, the California native has 2,845 pass yards, 12 touchdowns, 19 picks, and 151 rush yards.
