Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen spoke publicly for the first time Thursday about the limbo he finds himself in with the team that drafted him last year, telling SI TV that it's "annoying" but that he "definitely understands the situation."

The Cardinals hold the No. 1 pick in next week's NFL draft and speculation is rampant that the team, with new coach Kliff Kingsbury at the helm, will select former Oklahoma quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray.

"I definitely understand the situation," Rosen told SI TV. "I mean, it's annoying but, like, it is what it is. Football's a business, and I definitely respect the higher-ups and their decisions. . . . Whatever decisions are made, it's my duty to prove them right if they keep me, and prove them wrong if they ship me off."
