Over the past few weeks, there has been speculation circling from the national media that the Arizona Cardinals could trade last year’s first-round selection, Josh Rosen, and select Oklahoma quarterback prospect Kyler Murray with the first overall pick in the upcoming 2019 NFL draft.
Most of the speculation has centered around comments Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury made back in October, four months prior to being hired by Arizona.
But recently, there was an interesting turn of events on Rosen’s side of things. All of Rosen’s Cardinals related pictures on Instagram have been deleted.
Rosen did take to Twitter recently and claim he was hacked.
He got things back under control, although the photos remain gone.
Amidst all the recent trade rumors, one would think Rosen would want to squash any unnecessary speculation by either addressing the deleted pictures or try to add them back.
Of course, there is always the possibility this was a ploy orchestrated between Rosen and the Cardinals front office. The more interest the team shows in another quarterback, the more draft capital they can command for the No. 1 overall pick from a quarterback-needy team, should they decide to make a move.
Whatever the reason, there are only 56 days until the 2019 NFL draft commences. At that time, the Cardinals will officially be on the clock and fans will know who their quarterback of the future will be.
