Cardinals acquire quarterback Josh Dobbs via trade with Browns
The Arizona Cardinals have traded for quarterback Josh Dobbs from the Cleveland Browns, per the NFL's Tom Pelissero.
The Cardinals will be without starting quarterback Kyler Murray (ACL) for the early part of the 2023 and had been deliberating between oft-injured backup Colt McCoy and raw rookie Clayton Tune as their potential fill-in until Murray returned. Neither quarterback impressed in the preseason, likely prompting the team to acquire Dobbs via trade with the Browns. Dobbs now has a legitimate shot at being the Cardinals' Week 1 starter.
Dobbs made two surprising starts for the Tennessee Titans a year ago, snatching their starting job after expected backup Malik Willis proved unprepared for the NFL. He completed 40 of his 68 attempts in those games for 411 yards, 2 touchdowns and 2 interceptions, and could reasonably be expected to offer the Cardinals more than either McCoy or Tune as the team awaits Murray's return.
