Dak Prescott’s 3-Word Reaction to Cooper Rush’s Cowboys Exit
Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys bid farewell to longtime backup quarterback Cooper Rush, who is heading to the Baltimore Ravens.
Rush signed a two-year deal worth up to $12.2 million with Baltimore, where he is expected to serve as Lamar Jackson‘s primary backup. Originally joining the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent in 2017, Rush has spent most of the past eight years in Dallas, aside from a brief stint with the New York Giants in 2020.
When called upon, Rush delivered solid performances in Prescott’s absence, posting a 9-5 record as a starter. Over 14 starts, he compiled 3,463 passing yards, 20 touchdowns, and a 60.7% completion rate.
Prescott took to social media to express his gratitude and wish his former teammate well in his next chapter.
“Good luck brother,” Prescott wrote on Instagram, along with a heart emoji.
Cowboys Need to Find Backup for Dak Prescott
With Rush no longer in the mix, the Cowboys must address their backup quarterback situation behind Prescott. As it stands, Will Grier is the only other signal-caller on the roster.
Trey Lance, a former first-round pick whom Dallas acquired in 2023 for a fourth-round selection, is expected to depart in free agency after two seasons with limited playing time. With Lance likely moving on, the Cowboys will need to explore alternative options to solidify their quarterback depth.
