So now he's up to 7 teams that have made the mistake of signing him.

I was wondering how many teams he's been on.  Ty

🎶There's a voice that keeps on calling me
Down the road, that's where I'll always be.
Every stop I make, I make a new friend,
Can't stay for long, just turn around I'm gone again🎵

🎶Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down,
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

Down this road that never seems to end,
Where new adventure lies just around the bend.
So if you want to join me for a while,
Just grab your hat, come travel light, that's hobo style.🎵

The Littlest Hobo was one of my favorite shows growing up. (I also loved the similarly-themed American show - Run, Joe, Run).

I recall that one of the concerns about Rosen was that he was independently wealthy.  I don't remember the source of the money but the point was he didn't need to make a bundle playing football, and that he was just as likely to walk away if things didn't go well, and so he might not put his full attention into the game.  

 

Maybe there's been a change on the bank account situation.  Why would a guy basically put his life on hold, to move around so much, not getting going with the rest of his life, if he didn't need the money?  Clearly he's not going to be a star in the league.

 

On his side of the ledger, he did get totally mishandled by his coaches and front offices.  Drafted by the Cardinals, and then immediately shoved to one side because Kingsbury wanted Kyler Murray.  Then traded away into a situation where he had no shot at starting.  On an on it went, with him never getting a real shot.  Contrast to Mahomes, who had the complete luxury of sitting his entire rookie year, watching a professional QB (Alex Smith) and learning how to do things in the NFL, and then sliding into the starter job in his second year, with the same coaches and strong roster around him.  

I don't know about independently wealthy, but his family is extremely wealthy.  He was always touted as the next great growing up. 

 

Nothing humble about his upbringing.  He isn't known to be the greatest teammate or very coachable. It all caught up with him in the NFL.

Didn’t his old coach Mora also say he wouldn’t take him in the first round?
