2. Jan 2nd 2018 6:51PM. Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer announced his retirement Tuesday after 15 NFL seasons. 'Over the years, I've had teammates who decided to hang it up and I would.

The Arizona Cardinals believed they had a potential franchise quarterback when they traded up to select Josh Rosen with the 10th pick of the 2018 draft. After a rough rookie season and getting traded after the Cardinals selected Kyler Murray first overall in 2019, Rosen is without a team.

2018 NFL Mock Draft: Cardinals trade up to take fourth quarterback in top 10 With Carson Palmer retiring, the Cardinals are a prime trade-up candidate as they look for a franchise QB By R.J.

According to Adam Schefter, he is being released by the Miami Dolphins.

The Arizona Cardinals spent the 10th pick in the 2018 NFL Draft on what was their hopeful future face of the franchise. They selected 6-foot-4 quarterback Josh Rosen from UCLA, who was No. Meet Cardinals QB Josh Rosen, drafted No. 10 overall in the 2018 NFL Draft out of UCLA Rosen has tantalizing upside as a passer.

Perhaps it should not be seen as a surprise cut. The Dolphins reportedly unsuccessfully tried to trade him. Ryan Fitzpatrick is the starting quarterback and Miami selected Tua Tagovailoa with the fifth overall pick in the draft.

Rosen never really had a chance.

He started 13 games as a rookie, going 3-10, passing for 2,278 yards, 11 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.

The Cardinals dealt him to the Dolphins for a 2019 second-round pick and a 2020 fifth-round pick. They used those picks to select Andy Isabella and to acquire Kenyan Drake from the Dolphins midseason in 2019.

In 2019, He started three games, losing all three. He had 567 passing yards, one touchdown and five interceptions.

He has certainly not performed at a high level, but he has had a very unfortunate career arc so far.

He was on the league’s worst team in 2018 coached by a man who was fired after one season. He had two offensive coordinators in Arizona. Miami was expectedly bad in 2019 and changed coordinators before this season.

Since 2015, he will be on his eighth offensive coordinator and ninth if you include the few weeks he had with Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury.

Unless he can find stability with a team and develop the way many believed he would, his story will end up being very similar to Matt Leinart, another quarterback the Cardinals drafted 10th overall and saw become a bust in the league.

Football’s right around the corner.

And with the added additions to the quarterback pool, there have been some shifts in the hierarchy of the signal-callers.

Using a total of 50 NFL insiders, including 10 who range from assistant coaches to salary cap managers, 10 general managers, five head coaches, 10 coordinators, 10 senior personnel executives and five quarterback coaches, ESPN’s Mike Sando broke down every team’s starting quarterback into four tiers.

Looking at the quarterback situation in Arizona, Sam Bradford falls into the Tier 3 category as a No. 28 overall ranking.

But what exactly is a Tier 3 quarterback?

“A Tier 3 quarterback is a legitimate starter, but needs a heavier running game and/or defense to win. A lower-volume passing offense makes his job easier.”

Based on that definition alone, it’s no surprise to see the veteran QB there.

When healthy, David Johnson is a workhorse for Arizona, acting as one of the true lead backs in the game. In 2016, his second NFL season, Johnson rushed for 1,239 yards and 16 scores to go with 879 receiving yards and four more touchdowns on the ground.

Pair that with a defensive-minded head coach in Steve Wilks and a team that bolsters Chandler Jones and up-and-coming Budda Baker and Bradford could be seen more as a facilitator than a game-changer like Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady.

But, injuries — again — were a big reason for his spot in the ranking.

Bradford’s performance for Minnesota against New Orleans in the 2017 opener would hold up well against any game any quarterback might play, multiple voters said. The fact that Bradford could not stay in the lineup the next week despite suffering no new injuries was troubling.

“The teams that have him don’t seem to want to stay with him,” a former GM noted.

In his Week 1 outing with the Minnesota Vikings, Bradford completed 27-of-32 pass attempts for three touchdowns and no picks.

Bradford has only played two full seasons in his eight-year career but has shown flashes of potential.

In 2016, Bradford started 15 games and posted a league-leading 71.6 completion percentage to with a 99.3 passer rating. He threw for 3,877 yards, 20 touchdowns and had just five interceptions.

Among the starts in the NFC West, no one made the Tier 1 group. Seattle Seahawks’ Russell Wilson topped the division at No. 6 (Tier 2), followed by San Francisco 49ers’ Jimmy Garoppolo (No. 13; Tier 2), Los Angles Rams’ Jared Goff (No. 19; Tier 3) and Bradford.
