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 play their backup quarterbacks much in recent years; Jackson hasn't missed a game because of injury since the end of the 2022 season.
Over the last six seasons the Ravens are 4-10, including playoffs, when Jackson has not started at quarterback.
The Cowboys, meanwhile, will be in search for a new backup to Dak Prescott, who is the only quarterback under contract with the team. Trey Lance, the Cowboys' third-string quarterback, is also a free agent.
