Seems like a dumb move the Vikings would do, but I doubt they do this time.
I thought this team traded for Trey Lance. Rush has no future here.We may need Rush to win some games for us. Why chance trading him for a pick that won't help us until next year?
He is a career backup, and a fringe one at that. He doesn’t really have NFL athleticism or an NFL arm.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. There was a thread on the board claiming that. 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.
They’d take him but demand the Cowboys defense as part of the deal.No one wants him, it was proven when he was released.
I understand that. But the teams that have injured starters NOW might be interested; they wouldnt have needed help in August.
If we could get a 4th for him, absolutely.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:
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?
- 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.
Vikings, rams, maybe browns….maybe jets…teams that need a veteran QB to keep them in the playoff hunt while their QB is injured.Lol who on earth would trade for Cooper Rush
I think most here are missing the point. Teams wouldn’t be acquiring him as a starter. It would be as a stop gap QB for 3-5 games while their starter is hurt.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.

Teams don’t usually trade for a stopgap QB, especially one who’s a career backup. Rush has only 6 career starts and doesn’t bring much skills to the table. He doesn’t have a great arm and isn’t very mobile. He’s more valuable to the Cowboys than he would be to another team. He’s been with us for several seasons, and knows our system. He helped save our season last year. He could come in very handy again for us if Dak were to go down. We really can’t part with Rush because Trey Lance isn’t ready. I would rather hang onto Rush than receive a 7th round pick.I think most here are missing the point. Teams wouldn’t be acquiring him as a starter. It would be as a stop gap QB for 3-5 games while their starter is hurt.
Rush?Yes but I'm not giving him away.
