Rosen’s relationship with the Cardinals might be getting too damaged to repairMark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY SportsLast week I posed a seemingly innocuous poll question on my twitter account, related to the Arizona Cardinals and their process, using a work metaphor comparison:First of all, as I said, this ain’t me at all (I love my job as almost anyone who knows me will tell you).And there were around 193 votes cast for “I wouldn’t want to continue working there.”The responses this question got were varied in nature, indeed:As some went and guessed, the question had to do directly with Josh Rosen’s current relationship with the Arizona Cardinals...There were definitely some varied and interesting responses but the main idea stuck:-If you hear that your boss is considering firing you, but then it doesn’t happen and you’re retained the majority of people said that you should look for another position.Which, of course, begs the question if Josh Rosen (who probably can’t even log in to post onto his twitter without seeing Kyler Murray speculation) is able to hear about the Cardinals potentially replacing him with someone else, why would he want to stay?If you’re at your workplace and your boss gives indication enough that he doesn’t believe in you and wants to replace you, I kinda have to side with Josh.Sure, I’m lawfully and contractually obligated to my employer, but if I can find another job and am in demand, I’d prefer to leave.That’s just the way it is.You have no guarantee they won’t try to replace you in the future and there will be a lot of awkward tension.Do I think Josh Rosen would demand a trade, even if Arizona passes on Murray?No....but I think it’d get awkward that next season between the coaches and the rest of the staff.It’s like if you and your girlfriend got engaged and a week later you’re at a party and she’s flirting with another guy, right?You’d kinda want that ring back....Now perhaps, there’s a deeper level to this and some misdirection going on, as many have believed.Rather than using a “the boss is testing your loyalty” example let’s try this one:-Let’s say that you’re at that same party BUT when your fiance茅 is flirting with another man it’s for a specific reason and point:You both talked about it ahead of time & your relationship is clear with plenty of trustThere was a set and established goal with the flirtingThe outcome was for the other man’s wife to see her own husband flirting with someone at the party so that they would be convinced to dump him or , potentially, see how loyal he is.This exact tactic was masterfully used to manipulate a billionaire by master spies in Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol below:In short, what did the kiss do for our heroes?It made the billionaire jealous seeing her with another woman and thinking “I’ve GOT to have her!”Perhaps that’s what the Cardinals are doing with Kyler Murray and Josh Rosen.However, if they are not...then the relationship will undoubtedly have fractures in the foundation.Arizona drafted Rosen to be the future, added a coach to help build an offense around him...and has since seemingly thrown away that rock solid trust.If the team wanted to trade down from Kyler Murray, the best player to advertise in that need would be Nick Bosa.Why?Because casting a shadow of doubt on your own quarterback doesn’t just split your fanbase or have other teams feel they need to give up the farm for that guy.It also kills a LOT of trust and the reputation of your own QB, which is currently Josh Rosen.I don’t know if Rosen shows up for camp next week or not (odds would favor he would a la Adam Green’s “you keep showing up but look for another job” tweet above) but it’ll be an awkward interview if he does.Did Arizona’s flirting mean that Rosen might demand a trade anyway Haason Reddick Men Jersey , even should the team pass on Kyler Murray? Is that relationship, then, beyond repair?I’m not convinced of that just yet.Sure, in a job or a business, it’s easy to repair some relationships through money, in the case of a pay raise.It happens in the NFL all the time and while it’s not the best fix, it at least is a sign of commitment.Such a thing, however, wouldn’t really be able to happen with Rosen as he’s not due for a new contract extension for 3 more years at the earliest.And if the team drafts Nick Bosa, something they could have done the entire time at #1, they’ll essentially have dragged Josh Rosen’s name through the mud and the muck for no real reason at all except to confuse teams.He’s a human being.That’s not worth it enough for someone to say “It’s just a business.”And perhaps, in that sense it is.Business has it’s drawbacks too, though.Think about if someone in your sales department slandered you enough that you stopped getting leads and finally when it was proven untrue, the damage still remained.Rosen will always have a question mark or two hanging over his head as long as he is in Arizona if the team sticks with him.Perhaps Rosen uses it as motivation or due to it being a special industry there aren’t as many hard feelings and the team can move on with a functional level of relationship.I don’t know if that happens though.Realistically, I think that there’s only one option left (assuming the team will work to communicate their true intentions to Josh Rosen) to repair the relationship.You trade down.And show your commitment to Josh buy building around him & taking all offensive players.If your entire scheme has been to coerce Jon Gruden into giving up a plethora of picks, spending one on Quinnen Williams, Nick Bosa, Josh Allen or more really doesn’t do much when you could have taken them at #1 and instead added a few more picks.Rather, build around Josh completely and let him know the plan.If Oakland somehow gave up 3 1sts, don’t take Quinnen Williams, even if he’s the best player.Take Jonah Williams and a wide receiver/tight end or a guard, too.Establishing Josh Rosen as your quarterback by using what you’ve received to help him as much as possible is the only solution I can see that might be able to mend up a bridge that, while not collapsed or broken, is definitely being burned with each new story.If the team determines not to do that, or if the team keeps two Quarterbacks, it might very well turn out poorly.Or perhaps Arizona’s game of smoke and mirrors isn’t as much at all and AZ and Rosen have done enough damage to each other that Rosen’s content to move on, and perhaps might even welcome it.I just know that Cardinals fans will be afraid that out of the “9 mistakes” in front of where Rosen was taken, that they and their team will become the 10th as another vindictive quarterback with a chip on his shoulder leaves Kliff Kingsbury behind once more for a fresh Color Rush Haason Reddick Jersey , new star.You can follow @blakemurphy7 on Twitter and the Revenge of The Birds podcast: Winning any of the AP’s individual NFL awards, from MVP to top rookie, means plenty to players.Being nominated for, no less winning, the Walter Payton Man of the Year award means more.Don’t minimize how proud a guy is when he’s voted one of the prestigious individual awards. It’s a portion of his resume that jumps off the page the way Saquon Barkley hurdles over potential tacklers.But being selected for the Payton award, renamed in 1999 for the great Chicago Bears running back and humanitarian, involves so much more than football achievements.“It is probably one of my greatest accomplishments,” says 2013 winner Charles Tillman, who played 12 seasons at cornerback for the Bears and his final year with the Panthers. “It really shows the true character of a person.“When fans see us, they just assume a lot of times we are just athletes. They don’t know what these men do on their days off during the season, in the community. A lot of players really put their community service in every week of the year. They get their charity work done and their volunteer work.“The Walter Payton Award is about excellence off the field. I am proud to be associated with that award.”Who wouldn’t be? In a time when many NFL players have been criticized or even condemned for their protests of social and racial injustice during the national anthem, many — if not most of them — also have been doing good deeds in their communities. They don’t do it for recognition or applause. As Tillman notes, they do it because they can “shed light on a bigger thing. It’s not just football. It’s about being a good person, serving other people and loving other people.”Unlike in the past, when three finalists were selected before a recipient was chosen, one player from every NFL team is a finalist. All will be recognized and participate in NFL functions during Super Bowl week. The Man of the Year will be revealed at NFL Honors, when The Associated Press’ individual NFL awards are announced Feb. 2 in Atlanta.Five current players have won the award: Drew Brees, Thomas Davis, Larry Fitzgerald, Eli Manning and J.J. Watt, and they wear a Man of the Year patch on their jerseys. All 2018 finalists will wear a Man of the Year helmet decal beginning this week through the end of the season.“It’s a tremendous honor,” Jets offensive tackle Kelvin Beachum says. This week, Beachum surprised Ca’moore Jones, an eighth-grade student at Orange Preparatory Academy in New Jersey, with two Super Bowl tickets. Moore was nominated by his teacher, Glenn Gamble, for his performance and growth with the Character Playbook course that is embraced by the NFL.“Just the name Walter Payton, he’s the gold standard Haason Reddick Jersey Boys ,” Beachum said. “What he did off the field and on the field, his excellence is bar none, top in history. So to be mentioned in the same name and the same breath as him, it’s truly humbling.”Humbling is an appropriate word because the award finalists often feel that sensation during their community work.“I’ve been blessed to play in this league for 13 years and to be a part of some really good seasons,” says Rams offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth, who is heavily involved with the Make-A-Wish Foundation. “But making a difference in someone’s life will go beyond football any day of the week. It’s not just about the game, it’s about the opportunity to bring people together. When I look back and think about my NFL career, the time spent out in the community giving back to people in need will always be the most touching to me.”Adds Colts DE Jabaal Sheard: “With our jobs as NFL players comes a huge platform to brighten and improve the lives of others, and that’s what I strive to do every day.”Tillman knows firsthand how kind and giving people can be. His own family was helped in 2008 when his infant daughter Tiana needed a heart transplant. Magali Garcia, the mother of 9-week-old Armando, who died in a Minnesota hospital, offered her son’s heart.To Tillman, Magali Garcia is a hero, not him. She is what the Payton award is all about.“When my daughter needed a new heart, another person stepped up and decided to take a bad situation and turn it into a success story,” Tillman says. “She not only blessed my family but other families with her choice.“For all we do in our foundation, it is a great blessing for what this woman did for her son. Magali, she is the one who actually is blessing those people, blesses them every day, and doesn’t even know it. She served my family and a lot of families and she made an amazing choice. A tough decision. I think about her son a lot and I truly am sorry. She is a part of my family, and for us to have this story that has bonded us, and this connection, and to turn that negative into something positive by blessing other people … I get great satisfaction in that.”So when the NFL Honors program is televised the night before the Super Bowl, pay special attention to the names below.
