The Baltimore Ravens have a new backup for quarterback Lamar Jackson.
The Ravens reached agreement with former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush on Sunday, his agency, Equity Sports, announced.
Terms were not disclosed but sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter and Jeremy Fowler that it's a two-year contract that has a maximum value of $12.2 million and includes $4.2 million guaranteed.
Rush, 31, will take over as Jackson's primary backup from Josh Johnson, a 38-year-old journeyman who threw three passes in six games last season. The Ravens haven't needed to go to a backup quarterback recently. Jackson hasn't missed a game due to injury since the end of the 2022 season.
