The Josh Rosen era in Arizona looks like it is ending after one season and the Kyler Murray era may be on the horizon. The Cardinals are shopping last year's No. 10 overall pick, according to a report by Charley Casserly of NFL Network.
my man @CharleyCasserly just said on @nflnetwork that he's spoken to a team today that confirmed the Cardinals are shopping Josh Rosen.

If Murray goes No. 1 overall to the Cardinals next month, that will leave the San Francisco 49ers with their choice of anyone from their draft board, including former Ohio State pass rusher Nick Bosa. It could also put the 49ers in position to trade down and add to their six draft picks.
Rumors started to circulate last week at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis that head coach Kliff Kingsbury was so smitten with Murray that he was seriously entertaining the idea of selecting the former Oklahoma quarterback with the top overall pick.
Tony Pauline of Draft Analyst later reported that Kingsbury was telling people that Murray-to-Arizona was a "done deal." Rich Eisen later contradicted that report on Monday as defensive backs went through their skill tests.
"What I'm hearing is that Arizona has communicated that they are standing pat (with Josh Rosen)," Eisen said on air.
It would appear that the Cardinals' interest in replacing Rosen with Murray is very real.
H/t to Patrick Tulini for the find.
