The Baltimore Ravens have a new backup for star quarterback Lamar Jackson. This is after Cooper Rush signed a two-year contract in free agency with a maximum value of $12.2 million.
This also means that Rush has parted ways with the Dallas Cowboys, which is the same team he started his NFL career eight years ago.
On Wednesday, Rush took to Instagram to officially break his social media silence on his move to Baltimore. The 31-year-old sent an emotional parting message as he bid farewell to the Cowboys.
"From an undrafted rookie wearing #7 to an eight year veteran wearing #10, I appreciated every moment in a Cowboys uniform," he wrote. "Thank you Dallas for all of the love that you showed to me and family. I'm excited for the next chapter but forever grateful for the first one."
