Id like his replacement to have starting potential. Possibly someone in the draft. Dak might benefit from a QB room that’s a bit more competitive, and not so deferential.

I know this is putting the cart before the horse a bit but it's a fair issue IMO. I can't find a clear market value but have seen $4-5M range. That would put him in the same range as Brissett, Darnold, and Mayfield. It's likely going to come down to how we are willing to spend to keep Coop from possibly replacing Chase Daniel as Herbert's backup. Daniel is not only a free agent but word is he may be retiring. Who you think Kellen's pushing to help Herbert and the Charger's offense learn his system? In other words, Coop's $4-5M value to the Cowboys can easily be $6-8M with the Chargers. So we could very be in the market for a vet backup.....

  • A few names I like .......Mike White, Teddy Bridgewater, Sam Darnold ( all should be in $3-6M range )

  • One position that definitely makes sense for the Ravens to upgrade in free agency is backup quarterback. In a more recent breakdown, Zrebiec discussed why it would be important to sign an established backup. The past two seasons in Baltimore have ended with Jackson on the sideline dealing with injury. In the 12 games that Jackson has either sat out or left with injury in the last two years, the Ravens are 4-8, not including their lone playoff loss without Jackson. Teams like the 49ers and Cowboys displayed this year the value of having backup quarterbacks capable of winning games. Pushed into play due to injury, backup quarterbacks Cooper Rush, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Brock Purdy went a combined 16-4 in their regular season starts. While Rush is available, as are other options like Sam Darnold, Jacoby Brissett, and Andy Dalton, Baker Mayfield may make the most sense. Mayfield is an affordable option after flaming out a bit in Cleveland and Carolina, but he showed he still has the ability to compete in the waning games of the season with the Rams. He’s fairly young, having been drafted the same year as Jackson, while still experienced, and he specifically has experience in the AFC North. Mayfield also has a formidable talent for running the ball that wouldn’t require new offensive coordinator Todd Monken to switch things up too much when he’s in. Whether or not the former division rival is the answer, it’s become clear that backups Tyler Huntley and Anthony Brown can’t carry the team when Jackson is absent.

Awesome another post that will turn into Dak Sucks, Rush is better / Dak is great vs Rush is no comparison -

To the original notes of the post without talking about getting rid of Dak (GET OVER IT
EVERYONE!! Dak and his current contract vs fiscal cap issues basically states he ISNT BEING REPLACED OR GOING ANYWHERE THIS SEASON —-PERIOD!!!)

So, for backup
I would use later round pick on qb
Or sign a perennial backup who has experience with WCO
There are a few names out there
This is assuming Rush is signed elsewhere

Average, JAG players get overvalued in FA all the time.
Damien Wilson
Anthony Hitchens
Barry Church

One man's trash ... is another man's treasure. (but hey, if it gives us a compensatory pick as a result)

My vote would be to draft a rook w/ potential in the mid-late rounds and try to get him to the point where he can back up. There's almost always a Matt Moore/Case Keenum/Jacob Brissett/Heinecke/Minshew type if you can find him.

Just my guess but any available backup with WCO experience will get strong consideration. Just as Coop can help Kellen and Herbert, you want a guy Dak can lean on since he's never played in the system.

I’d draft a QB in mid rounds, let Rush walk and let maybe bring in a low price bet to compete with Grier for the backup job. Grier was winning the backup battle last camp until he got hurt. I think he could be the guy this year.
