Ravens Cut Quarterback Cooper Rush: What's Next?
12 Mar
Summary
- Ravens release quarterback Cooper Rush from his contract.
- Rush struggled as a backup last season, losing his spot.
- Several teams may consider signing him as a backup.
The Baltimore Ravens have released quarterback Cooper Rush, who was two years into a $6 million contract. Rush entered the previous season as the team's primary backup but was eventually overtaken on the depth chart by Tyler Huntley after difficulties filling in for an injured Lamar Jackson.
Despite recent performance issues, Rush has previously demonstrated the potential to be a capable backup, notably during his tenure with the Dallas Cowboys. Teams such as the Green Bay Packers, New York Jets, Kansas City Chiefs, and Las Vegas Raiders are considered potential landing spots for Rush.
Green Bay needs a veteran backup for Jordan Love after losing Malik Willis. The Jets, having traded for Geno Smith, require a veteran to compete, especially if Justin Fields departs. The Chiefs are looking for competition for their backup quarterbacks as Patrick Mahomes recovers from a torn ACL. The Raiders may also seek a veteran backup following Smith's trade.
