It's interesting we have not resigned him so far. Hell, what is his value, $4-6M?

Cowboys QB Cooper Rush: No 'Bidding War' for Rams to Sign Matthew Stafford Backup?​

After losing Baker Mayfield in free agency to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Los Angeles Rams are looking for a new backup quarterback.
The Los Angeles Rams could not bring back quarterback Baker Mayfield as the backup to Matthew Stafford, as the former No. 1 overall pick by the Cleveland Browns signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the hope of becoming their full-time signal caller.

With Mayfield no longer an option, and Bryce Perkins' time as a Rams potentially ending as well, Sean McVay and company will have to look elsewhere.

One option could see the Rams land another former starter - well, semi-starter - in Dallas Cowboys' second-stringer Cooper Rush.

As proposed by the RamsWire in their article detailing five other options for the next backup quarterback, Rush would make a lot of sense. Despite spending most of his time in Dallas learning behind Dak Prescott, he would bring starting experience as he led the Cowboys to a 4-1 record last fall.

I hope we do re-sign Rush. He played well and is obviously a fan favorite. We clearly have the cap space.

I'm not sure what the other NFL teams see or know...but I saw a competent backup. The team played well with him...he was calm and cool...no turnovers. Piled up wins. What's not to like?

Oh...that "noodle arm" thing? Whatever.

Rush will get a nice little 2-3 year package. Probably priced himself out of Dallas. Jerry will be happy to roll with Grier and a rookie.

We are all in on Dak as per usual. Can't wait to see how the next game winning playoff drive ends.

The Rams have no money for Rush.
I would think the Chargers would be in play because of the Moore connection...

Did Ryan sign with anyone yet?

Remember the Aikman days when we would back him up with a cheap past-his-prime but proven veteran?

With Kellen Moore as Dak‘s primary mentor most of these years, because it was never Romo, I think Matt Ryan is a perfect fit to assist if we’re ever going to see Dak reach the promised land.

I still remember his handshake comment when the Boys demolished the Colts. Good sport, good teamwork and would be great support for Dak off the bench.

Replying to the no turnovers. That and I prefer my QB to average more than 1 TD per game, backup or not.

Carry on.

Okay...thank you for the correction. Still....4-1. You can poo poo that all ya want.

You carry on too.

(oh yes...sure. I know that defense "played lights out". Rush helped in that. 3 ints in 5 games...as opposed to daks ints ratio.)

Well while I agree about more TD's are always a good thing, having a QB that does not throw 17 INT's in 14 games is a better thing too.

I don't disagree with you. I think before last season, Dak ranked really well as far as INT% is concerned. Was last year a fluke? Time will tell.

While it's true Dak had a career-high in INT's last season and prior to that his INT's were not bad, keep in mind that Dak also either led or tied for the league in fumbles lost for a few seasons so he has to be more careful with the football.
