Cardinals getting blasted for Josh Rosen tweet that was a Kyler Murray sham

Players are warned ahead of the NFL draft to delete any old tweets that could come back to haunt them.

Perhaps the Arizona Cardinals should have heeded that advice before expectedly grabbing Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray with the first overall selection, one year after taking quarterback Josh Rosen in the first round.

The Cardinals instantly took some social media heat Thursday night for a tweet on their official account from Feb. 12 in which they stated, “Y’all are having fun with speculation, but…” That text accompanied a photo of Rosen and a quote from new coach Kliff Kingsbury that “Josh is our guy.”

Arizona now is expected to trade Rosen, with the Giants among the teams expressing interest in the 10th overall selection in 2018 as a potential successor to Eli Manning.

Last week, the Cardinals initially left Rosen out of their promotional video for their 2019 schedule, instead featuring highlights of other Arizona players, such as Larry Fitzgerald and David Johnson. The video later was edited to include Rosen, who threw for 2,278 yards and 11 touchdowns in 14 games as a rookie.
