Cooper Rush, the longtime backup to Dak Prescott with the Dallas Cowboys, has reached an agreement with the Baltimore Ravens.

His agency, Equity Sports, announced the deal but didn’t reveal any financial terms. ESPN reported, however, that Rush will sign a two-year contract that includes $4.2 million in guaranteed money and has a maximum value of $12.2 million.

Rush signed with the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent in 2017 out of Central Michigan. He spent the 2020 season on the practice squad of the New York Giants, then returned to the Cowboys the following season.

The 31-year-old has appeared in 38 games with the Cowboys, starting 14 of them with a 9-5 record. Eight of those starts came last season when Prescott had a season-ending hamstring injury, and he was 4-4, completing 60.7 percent of his passes for 1,844 yards with 12 touchdowns and five interceptions.

In his career, Rush has 330 completions for 3,463 yards with 20 TDs and 10 interceptions.

In Baltimore, Rush will assume the role as Lamar Jackson’s backup from 38-year-old Josh Johnson. The Cowboys are now left to sign a backup for Prescott.

Trey Lance, who was the third-string quarterback for Dallas last season, is a free agent.
