It has been a mantra since the Miami Dolphins began gutting their roster in the hopes of rebuilding a competitive football team. “Tanking” was the common theme. A way for the Dolphins to ensure themselves a top quarterback in 2020’s draft but then Josh Rosen happened.
The Miami Dolphins are not handing the keys to their franchise over to the quarterback. He will compete for the starting job and at some point he will make his start in the 2019 season and the public evaluation of him will begin. His signing however changes little to nothing.
Chris Grier said in a post-draft conference that the value to obtain Josh Rosen was just too good to pass up.
