Ravens, QB Cooper Rush agree to 2-year deal to be Lamar Jackson’s backup
BALTIMORE — Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has a new backup.
Cooper Rush has agreed to a two-year, $6.2 million deal worth up to $12.2 million with Baltimore, a source with direct knowledge of the deal confirmed to The Baltimore Sun. Rush spent his first seven seasons in the NFL with the Dallas Cowboys, where he was the backup to Dak Prescott.
He replaces 38-year-old Josh Johnson, who is a free agent and was Jackson’s backup each of the past two seasons.
The only other quarterback on Baltimore’s roster is Devin Leary, a sixth-round draft pick last year who struggled through training camp.
Rush, 31, brings plenty of experience. He has appeared in 38 games (14 starts) and the Cowboys went 9-5 in games he started.
Last season, he appeared in a dozen games for Dallas, including the final eight as a starter. He completed 60.7% of his passes for 1,844 yards and 12 touchdowns with five interceptions.
