Cooper Rush has moved down the zeitgeist depth chart in the last year. He’s still the Cowboys’ backup quarterback until further notice, but the futures of both Dak Prescott and Trey Lance are commanding far more attention right now. How does Rush fit into the picture for this year and the potentially dramatic changes coming to Dallas’ QB position in the future?
Rush has one year left on his contract, counting about $2.9 million against the Cowboys’ 2024 salary cap. Dallas could save most of that, $2.25 million, if they released or traded Rush this offseason. But, the Cowboys have kept Rush on the roster for now.
