Ravens Sign Cooper Rush as Backup Quarterback on Two-Year Deal

The former Cowboys quarterback joins Baltimore to provide experienced depth behind Lamar Jackson after agreeing to a $12.2 million contract.

Cooper Rush, who spent eight seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, has signed a two-year contract with the Baltimore Ravens worth up to $12.2 million, including $4.2 million guaranteed.
Rush will serve as the backup to Ravens starting quarterback Lamar Jackson, replacing free agent Josh Johnson.
Rush brings significant experience, including a 9-5 record as a starter in Dallas, where he filled in during Dak Prescott's injuries in 2022 and 2024.
The Cowboys now face a quarterback depth issue, with only Will Grier on the roster and Trey Lance also entering free agency.
Dallas is expected to address its quarterback needs in the upcoming NFL Draft, potentially targeting a young prospect to develop behind Prescott.
