3 players the Minnesota Vikings should try to trade for this offseason

2. Miami Dolphins QB Josh Rosen

The Dolphins can say what they want about keeping Rosen. But with them lined up to draft a quarterback in April, and Ryan Fitzpatrick coming back as the bridge to that rookie, it doesn’t make much sense to keep a No. 3 quarterback of whatever stature Rosen still retains as a former top-10 pick.

Rosen was drafted into a bad situation in Arizona, and the circumstance in Miami was not any better when he got a brief chance last year. In a full season worth of starts over two seasons, his numbers are not good (54.8 percent completion rate, 63.5 passer rating, 12 touchdowns, 19 interceptions).

But as the Vikings consider finding a quarterback of the future, Rosen will come cheaply in trade cost as well as in cap hits (a total of $5 million over the next two seasons). Is a former first-round pick with some pedigree worth that minimal risk? With the idea a better situation will only help, I say yes.
