Too pricey for Dallas?
Cowboys COO Stephen Jones said the team thinks highly of Rush but won't necessarily re-sign him, David Moore of the Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
"You know how much we think of [Rush]," Jones said. "We just don't know what he's going to cost. When we're paying Dak [Prescott] what we're paying him, unfortunately we do have to go cheap there." Jones also hinted at the likelihood of third-stringer Trey Lance moving on to a new team, potentially leaving the Cowboys to sort through rookies or bottom-of-the-barrel veterans for the backup QB work in 2025. Rush has won nine of 14 starts in his career, likely putting him near the top of the backup market even though he's 31 years old.

2017
Rush was relegated to mop-up duty last season, as Dak Prescott was healthy for a full season for the first time in four years. Rush didn’t do much when he did get on the field, posting a 6.0 YPA with only two completions longer than 20 yards (on 24 attempts). The Cowboys seem content with Rush’s game-managing skills, and Trey Lance, for whom Dallas traded just before Week 1 last season, never challenged him for the backup job. Perhaps that changes this season. Lance certainly is more physically skilled than Rush and far more mobile -- in the last three seasons, Rush has -7 rushing yards on 30 carries. If Lance’s accuracy finally comes around, he would have more upside, both to the Cowboys and fantasy owners, than Rush.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Time could be over in Dallas
Rush may be priced out of the Cowboys' plans in free agency, David Moore of the Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
The 31-year-old quarterback has had success in Dallas, going 9-5 in his starts when Dak Prescott has been sidelined, including the second half of the 2024 season after Prescott underwent hamstring surgery in November. That success could make him too expensive to bring back, however, given the massive cap hit Prescott carries. Rush likely doesn't have the physical tools to interest other teams looking for a starter, but he could be a good fit for an organization looking for a steady, experienced No. 2 QB.
