Ex-Cowboys backup Cooper Rush heading to Ravens
- Cooper Rush, after seven years with the Dallas Cowboys, agreed to a two-year contract with the Baltimore Ravens, as announced by his agency on Sunday, meaning he won't be in Dallas for the 2025 season.
- The Cowboys needed to 'go cheap' at the backup quarterback position, according to Stephen Jones, due to Dak Prescott's long-term contract.
- Adam Schefter reported the deal is worth up to $12.2 million, following Rush's extended action during the 2024 season and his previous 38 games with the Cowboys where he threw for 3,463 yards and had 10 interceptions.
- During this year's NFL scouting combine, Jones expressed uncertainty about Rush's price tag, stating, "You know how much we think of Cooper...We just don't know what he's going to cost."
- Rush, a Central Michigan product, posted a 4-1 record as a starter in 2022 when Prescott was sidelined, helping Dallas stay in the playoff hunt and potentially earning himself a nice payday with a new challenge in Baltimore.
