Cooper Rush Joins Ravens, Leaving Cowboys Searching for Backup QB Options

The Dallas Cowboys face a quarterback depth challenge after Cooper Rush's departure, with speculation about addressing the gap in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Cooper Rush signed a two-year deal worth up to $12.2 million with the Baltimore Ravens to serve as Lamar Jackson's primary backup.
Rush's departure leaves the Dallas Cowboys with only Will Grier as a backup quarterback, increasing urgency to find a replacement.
Trey Lance, another Cowboys quarterback, is expected to leave the team, further complicating their depth chart at the position.
Speculation suggests the Cowboys may draft a rookie quarterback, with names like Quinn Ewers and Kyle McCord being floated as potential options.
The Cowboys must balance their quarterback needs with other priorities, such as extending key players like Micah Parsons, as Dak Prescott's contract expires after the 2025 season.
