If the Cowboys want offensive continuity, re-signing Cooper Rush may be an offseason goal.
While not the biggest name among the Cowboys’ scheduled 2025 free agents, backup QB Cooper Rush serves valuable roles. Given the front office’s recent admiration for continuity on offense, could Rush be a priority re-signing for Dallas this spring?
If the projected departures of Zack Martin and DeMarcus Lawrence happen, Dak Prescott will become the Cowboys’ longest-tenured player at 10 seasons. Right behind him, both entering their ninth years in Dallas, will be Rush and CB Jourdan Lewis. While Rush did briefly leave in 2020, signing as a free agent with the Giants, he was available that October and signed following Prescott’s season-ending injury.
What nobody could’ve expected at that time was that Rush would eventually reclaim his spot as QB2 and eventually post a 9-5 record in starts from 2021-2024. Now a proven commodity and one of the best-known backups in football, Rush should have a market with plenty of teams looking for a reliable veteran on their QB depth chart.
