Joshua Dobbs was the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals for the first eight games of the season. The Cardinals went 1-7 in those games. He threw for 1569 yards, eight touchdowns and five interceptions. Dobbs had moments where he played well for Arizona but also had lots of down moments.
The return of the Cardinals’ franchise quarterback Kyler Murray was on the horizon. So, Arizona traded Joshua Dobbs to the Minnesota Vikings who were in need of a quarterback after Kirk Cousins tore his achilles. The Vikings received Joshua Dobbs and a seventh round pick in exchange for a sixth round pick.
