Several starting QBs across the NFL were hurt today to go along with guys guys like Aaron Rodgers and DeShawn Watson who were already hurt. Kurt Cousins may have blown an Achilles and Matt Stafford may be out for a while with his injured thumb. The jets may still be looking for a veteran backup since Zach Wilson has been meh. Sone teams are close enough to competing for a playoff spot and could use a vet QB now.

Some of those teams may be interested in trading for Cooper Rush. If the offer were right I would do it for these reasons:
  • Rush is not really in the future plans here.
  • The Cowboys need to see what they have in Trey Lance anyway.
  • Maybe a team would also part with a player we could use.
IMO the Cowboys would be wise to shop Rush right now while they are hopefully shopping for some other trade options to strengthen this roster. Would you be willing to trade Cooper Rush?

Don’t see anyone interested in trading for Cooper Rush. When we released him last year during the summer no one signed him and we brought him back. Yes, we won some games with him due to our defense but you’re limited as to what you can do with him at QB.

Absolutely. Who would be dumb enough to give up a pick for Cooper Rush?

lol....no
Why Not?
If anyone is stupid enough to give us a good draft pick for Rush, take it!!
Rush has been a decent backup. A team desperate to stay in the playoff hunt for a veteran QB to fill in until their starter is back would be interested. Rush was 4-1 last year and some teams might be willing to part with something to have his services to stay in a playoff race.

Yeah exactly. I think there would be essentially zero market for him.

To think someone would actually trade for him as a plug and play starter is insane.

What current starter is he better than? He has no upside and is nothing but a progress stopper for a team that would otherwise be starting a young player with the tools to ascend.

Anything but a 2nd round pick.

I dunna think there is much clamor for our bench warmer.

You have some fans here that are so out of touch, they think we would have won the Super Bowl with him last season had he remained the starter. :laugh: :facepalm: There was a thread on the board claiming that. :rolleyes: Rush is serviceable in the right system but he’s strictly a backup QB..period! No team in the league would think starter with him.
